This is a quite difficult problem. I think messages should be
classified someway. Now we have warning/message which are displayed
quite differently. We also have debug messages which does not appear
in the message buffer ("entered debugger ...").
- I think it should be integrated.
- Showing important messages as Juri suggested seems good, but
displaying everything that way is probably not good.
- Using colors for classified messages is probably useful. (They
should be kept in colors in the messages buffer too.)
