I doubt there is a place where we call message_with_string for
efficiency reasons: the added cost of going through Ffuncall of Qmessage
is negligible compared to the cost of doing the actual display of
the message.
But there might be cases where we need it for correctness reasons,
because the context is such that we can't run arbitrary Elisp code.
