Yes, thank you, but while this is true most of the time, it is not
always true -- and sometimes the text is slightly different (usually: a
"user-error: " or "call-interactively: " can be prepended, or " [n
times]" can be appended).
I do admit that the following would be good enough in all cases I can
think of:
(with-current-buffer "*Messages*"
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-max))
(skip-chars-backward "\n")
(buffer-substring-no-properties (point)
(progn
(skip-chars-backward "^\n")
(point)))))
