It is used very little, so it has little potential to do any harm. I see two uses of momentary-string-display in table.el which perhaps should be replaced by calls to display-warning. Takaaki-san, do you think that is a good idea? It would be clean to make momentary-string-display use overlays and not change the buffer text at all. Would you like to try writing that? But let's not delay the release for it.
