I'm looking for a way to write to STDERR. The only method I've found so far
is write-error, but PowerShell likes to add "useful" information like script
name, arguments, etc. How can this be done?

To elaborate, I'm building a hook for subversion which will deny anyone from
committing too much data at one time. In order to return an error message to
the user, the error needs to be written to STDERR. AFAIK the only way to do
this is with write-error.

So currently, the user gets an error back like this (hyphens mine):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\svn\repos\myrepo\hooks\pre-commit.ps1 :
Your commit exceeds the maximum size allowed by this server.
At line: 1 char: 39
+ c:\svn\repos\myrepo\hooks\pre-commit.ps1 <<<< c:\svn\repos\myrepo 3-1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of simply:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your commit exceeds the maximum size allowed by this server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried using write-warning, but this doesn't go to STDERR.
