Re: messages override minibuffer input

    If I understand the code correctly, the function do_autoload in
    eval.c normally calls load with arg NOMESSAGE being nil. So load
    issues a message. Would it make sense that load used something like
    optional-message?

That change goes too far.  In the case you describe, do_autoload
should not display the message.  But in many other cases it should.

Perhaps do_autoload, when called from a timer, should not display the
message.  But it should put the message in *Messages*.

Ideally it should display the message, but restore the previous echo
area contents later.  The hard part of that is arranging for the
proper "later" time.
