Yes, over the years I've come to the same conclusion (and have forgotten
I have reported this in the meantime, sorry...). I still see other
people make this request occasionally, but it would probably be better
addressed by other improvements to the echo message functionality, e.g.
as suggested on emacs-devel recently (easier redisplay of last/older
messages, "intelligent stacking" of messages closely following one
another etc.)
