Re: Annoying paren match messages in minibuffer

I see 3 solutions:
1 - change `message' to use minibuffer-message when in the minibuffer.
    As pointed out, the delay can be problematic.
2 - change minibuffer-message to call `message' when not in minibuffer.
    This is easy to do and shouldn't suffer from those same problems
    but won't catch as many cases.
3 - introduce a new function that uses one or the other depending
    on `minibufferp'.  This won't catch any case until we start changing
    code to use it.  But it's the safest and easiest solution.  The only
    hard part would be agreeing on its name.

Indeed, we have `minibufferp' for that.
