I'd even argue that this function should be called "minibuffer-message",
since currently minibuffer-message is only used when (minibufferp) is
non-nil.
I agree that is a natural generalization. But I agree that this name
is not very clear for the current behavior, and even less clear for
the suggested behavior.
I can't think of a better name for this function, but I do have
an idea for a cleaner interface for the feature. Have a variable
minibuffer-message-at-end which, if t, causes `message' to
display messages this way.
It could use the same mechanism as now; or, maybe it would
be cleaner to change the lower levels of redisplay to display
the message at the end of the minibuffer when it is selected.
