A less general point: do you ever, ever, leave "messages" and "echo"
in
different states? I, personally, don't.
Actually, for anything exceeding 10 lines, my first 2 are routinely
devoted to turning both off. On the other hand, it's clearly nice to have
them both on when teaching.
Perhaps (bar the obvious backward compatibility problem) we could
reformulate this via something like
set verbose [on | off | echo | messages ]
defaulting to "off" if possible.
