The reason why Quail does that is that the text must be shown
with some face. Previously, we couldn't use `message' for
that. But, now we can do something like this:
(message (propertize "hello" 'face 'highlight))
So, if requested, I can make quail to use `message' instead
of minibuffer. Actually, that change will make the code
simpler. The only drawback I can think of now is that it
consumes *Messages* buffer too much.
