I see that quail completion currently doesn't work correctly in the
minibuffer: it doesn't display completions in the minibuffer for
multi-key input methods. So this needs fixing anyway.
BTW, I see there are several duplicate implementations of
`minibuffer-message' in Emacs. Maybe they all can be replaced
with a simple call to `minibuffer-message'?
(defun quail-minibuffer-message (string)
(message nil)
(let ((point-max (point-max))
(inhibit-quit t))
(save-excursion
(goto-char point-max)
(insert string))
(sit-for 1000000)
(delete-region point-max (point-max))
(when quit-flag
(setq quit-flag nil
unread-command-events '(7)))))
(defun file-cache-temp-minibuffer-message (msg)
"A Lisp version of `temp_minibuffer_message' from minibuf.c."
(let ((savemax (point-max)))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-max))
(insert msg))
(let ((inhibit-quit t))
(sit-for 2)
(delete-region savemax (point-max))
(if quit-flag
(setq quit-flag nil
unread-command-events (list 7))))))
(defun calc-temp-minibuffer-message (m)
(let ((savemax (point-max)))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-max))
(insert m))
(let ((okay nil))
(unwind-protect
(progn
(sit-for 2)
(identity 1) ; this forces a call to QUIT; in bytecode.c.
(setq okay t))
(progn
(delete-region savemax (point-max))
(or okay (abort-recursive-edit)))))))
(defun PC-temp-minibuffer-message (message)
"A Lisp version of `temp_minibuffer_message' from minibuf.c."
(cond (PC-not-minibuffer
(message "%s" message)
(sit-for 2)
(message ""))
((fboundp 'temp-minibuffer-message)
(temp-minibuffer-message message))
(t
(let ((point-max (point-max)))
(save-excursion
(goto-char point-max)
(insert message))
(let ((inhibit-quit t))
(sit-for 2)
(delete-region point-max (point-max))
(when quit-flag
(setq quit-flag nil
