I presume, there is little chance to change this behaviour for
noninteractive use?  I understand, that these messages are important to
many users in an *interactive* session, and that changing or removing
them would be backwards-incompatible, but do these messages really
matter in a *noninteractive* session?  Is there really a need to inform
about every single file being written to in Emacs Lisp scripts?

I mean, there is no other programming language that behaves this way by
default.
