I kinda don't think extending `message' in this way would be ideal. Currently, `message' is pretty simple to understand, and to change it to not actually message anything (in some circumstances) would be confusing. Doing this in the way you've done in the workaround seems like a better idea. So I'm closing this as a "wontfix". -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
