Subject: bug#11851: 24.1.50; info.el: show messages only when interactive
Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 10:42:27 -0700

In several places in info.el there is a function that could be used in a
non-interactive context (e.g. by 3rd-party code).  And in such a context
it might sometimes not be appropriate to display the various messages
that are currently shown unconditionally.
 
Please add optional MSGP arguments and conditionalize the calls to
`message' using `called-interactively'.  Thx.
 
The only alternative for 3rd-party code that wants to reuse such
functions is to redefine them to add optional MSGP args etc.  Better
that Emacs should do that from the outset.
