For the messages part, how about if we create a buffer named
*Messages-for-threadHHHHH*, where HHHHH is the thread ID, and put the
echo-area messages from that thread in that buffer?  We could later
invent a machinery to display that buffer automatically when some
event happens, like when the thread exits?

We could do something similar with echo-area buffers: create
additional buffers when threads are created.

WDYT?
