I propose the patch that calls after-change-functions after *Messages*
buffer modification, i.e. when new messages are added to the
*Messages* buffer by the `message' function.
That is not safe. Messages are output from lots of places, and I
don't know if all of them can handle GC. This patch would cause GCs
in those places.
You could make this safe by checking every call to the `message_'
functions and verifying that GC is safe in each of them.
However, I'd suggest instead using an idle timer to check that a message
has been added, and to add a timestamp.
There is another issue. Right now there's a feature to combine
repeated messages. If you put time stamps in the buffer, that would
break this feature, unless the time stamp code takes pains to keep
it working.
