Yeah, that's the problem the async code makes go away...

Hm... didn't we add a mechanism to display messages on a timeout the
other year? Or did we just talk about it? I wanted something like
(with-timeout-message 2 "We're doing whatevs"
(whatevs))
If the body form completes within 2 seconds, then nothing is displayed,
otherwise the message is displayed until the body form completes.
I can't find it now, so we probably just talked about it?
