I see. I had never looked its implementation before. It certainly
looks kludge.

I compared the behavior of the two functions and I prefer
momentary-string-display. However, I don't object replacing it with
display-warning.

If you are asking me I don't know how to introduce
momentary-string-display equivalent pop-up text effect by using
overlays. Anyway if the cleaning up doesn't look feasible by the
release please replace momentary-string-display with something that
does similar work. I agree the release should not be delayed by this
issue.
