How can I display a message in the echo area with a special face, to highlight it?
The elisp info states that text properties affect the display, but
the text and property appear literally, in the normal face.   
For example

(message (propertize "hello" 'face 'bold))

displays as

#("hello" 0 5 (face bold))
