Extend 'putstr(WIN_MESSAGE, attribute, string)'s attribute so that
'custompline(SUPPRESS_HISTORY, ...)' can work with ^P's message
history like DUMPLOG history, in order to keep autodescribe feedback
and intermediate prompts for multi-digit count ('Count: 12', 'Count:
123') prompts out of recall history. The old autodescribe behavior
could easily push all real messages out of the recall buffer when
moving the cursor around for getpos, and the count behavior looked
silly for a four or five digit gold count if you set the msg_window
option to 'full' or 'combination' and viewed them all at once.
Other interfaces may want to follow suit, but this doesn't force them
to make any changes. I added a hook for "urgent messages" that might
be rendered in bold or red or some such and/or override the use of
ESC at --More-- from suppressing further messages, but there aren't
any custompline(URGENT_MESSAGE, ...) calls (potentially "You die...",
for instance) to exercise it. Other people have implemented similar
feature it different ways and I'm not sure whether this one is really
the way to go since the core needs to categorize each message that it
deems to be urgent. MSG_TYPE:stop may be sufficent, although MSG_TYPE
matching can entail a lot of regexp execution overhead at run-time.
