Just keep in mind that it is not a patch, it is just a convenient way to
suggest changes and add comments.

Oh, I missed that.  My main issue is that this mixes both the
`progress-reporter-do-update' integration with other advice on functions
like `package-upgrade-all'.  I think having a global minor mode would be
the right approach, instead of advising on the top-level.

Generally it would be neat if we could find a solution that would avoid
the need for advice, but I don't see a clean way to do that right now.
Would you be interested in preparing a patch for subr.el that would make
progress-reporters more flexible?
