Inhibiting Messages Temporarily

Inhibiting Messages Temporarily

[Nordlöw]

How can I temporarily (in block) inhibit messages during the
evaluation of a specific block? Something like:

(inhibit-message
  (message "something very secret and useless"))

should not print anything at all.

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

     ,@body))
