Re: display-message-or-buffer?

Raymond Toy writes: Thanks for letting us know it works, that's what I was going to suggest. And thanks to you, Byrel, for your comment and suggestion. I'm not a big fan of this function, but maybe I don't understand the use case. My complaint is that if the message is a small string or a buffer, the message will be appended to " *Message-Log*", and otherwise dropped on the floor the next time the function is called. Presumably it will also be dropped on the floor if the caller is using a scratch buffer. I would tend to just use either display-warning, if it seems like a good idea to record the output, otherwise the with-displaying-help-buffer macro. I also wonder if it's appropriate for detached minibuffers (where either a different frame's miniwindow is used, or there's a separate minibuffer-only frame). Not your problem, of course, but I wanted to mention my misgivings here for posterity's sake. Do let me know if I'm missing the point, of course.
