Re: wrapper fn for message and minibuffer-message?

    I'd even argue that this function should be called "minibuffer-message",
    since currently minibuffer-message is only used when (minibufferp) is
    non-nil.

I agree that is a natural generalization.  But I agree that this name
is not very clear for the current behavior, and even less clear for
the suggested behavior.

I can't think of a better name for this function, but I do have
an idea for a cleaner interface for the feature.  Have a variable
minibuffer-message-at-end which, if t, causes `message' to
display messages this way.

It could use the same mechanism as now; or, maybe it would
be cleaner to change the lower levels of redisplay to display
the message at the end of the minibuffer when it is selected.
