24.1; `C-x C-q' should say that the buffer is now read only or writable |

Subject line says it all. Yes, the mode line tells you the new status,
but it is common courtesy for a mode toggle to announce the new state
with a message. Newbies, in particular, can benefit from such a
message, not necessarily noticing or understanding the mode-line symbol
change.
