How about having a way to log minibuffer messages?
For example, option `message-log-max', which allows for disabling logging, could
have additional values:
* negative N means (abs N) max lines + log minibuf msgs too
* other non-nil value, besides t and N, means log minibuf msgs too
With minibuffer messages logged also, a user can consult *Messages* (e.g. using
`C-x C-b') if s?he misses an ephemeral message.

That would be useful. I have seen tips about key bindings fly by too
fast when the minibuffer displays something else. Being able to go back
and look for them in *Messages* would be nice.
