Someone posted a patch last year that removes a few spurious/redundant
clearing of the minibuffer/echo-area, which were making the use of the
minibuffer as a global-indicator-area more difficult than needed.
I can't seem to find the corresponding email any more, so...
... whoever it was, could you send the patch again, so we can
install it?

How about providing a function `clear-echo-area' which does precisely
that but calls `clear-echo-area-hook' thus giving maintainers a chance
to resurrect and possibly update their indicators? Or, as I suggested
earlier, have `message' with a nil or empty string argument run such a
`clear-echo-area-hook'.

IIRC with the patch (which is a low-level C code patch), no such tweaks
are needed.
