The selectivity is that I want the "View mode: ..." message to appear
most of the time, except not when Eglot is doing background processing.

I therefore don't see how this set-message-function is any different to
the other ways of silencing the message that were already mentioned in
this thread.  There are many ways of silencing the message, but they
have to be installed somewhere non-globally.

I'll try to write a patch for that tomorrow if no-one else beats me to
it.

Thanks,
