Not exactly.  By default messages are displayed immediately.
Buffering occurs in regions surrounded by
`buffer_messages'/`flush_messages' calls, or when you use
`partial => 1'.

I don't see any reason why we couldn't buffer everything,
though.  And Tom once suggested that we do this so we sort all
error messages (this shouldn't be an issue now that adjacent
messages can be "linked" with `partial').
