Isn't current base echoing all accumulated port notes at the end of completing
its command?

I know trunk does and had the impression base does, too.

Thus, this is only a problem iff a port uses msg_ui instead of notes (bad, bad
port!) or command execution fails (I think in that case the notes are not listed
at all, but am not sure.)
