FWIW, I think the approach should rather be to have a special port (a
fluid) for such things, say, ‘current-notification-port’.  We’d simply
replace scm_current_error_port by scm_current_notication_port above.

The command-line option could be --quiet.  It would bind both
current-notification-port and current-warning-port to a void port.

WDYT?  Would you like to adjust the patch accordingly?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
