I think all messages should be. I've used experimental code to do that
in the past, and it was _really_ nice. No stupid awkward pauses and
annoyance like the current method, everything just seemed *right*.
However, for whatever reason, the last time this subject came up on
emacs-devel, it proved controversial [of course, it seems like pretty
much _every_ change is controversial on emacs-devel...].
