Maybe we should introduce an additional value for resize-mini-windows,
which will never reset the echo area, even if it becomes empty.  Then
we could bind resize-mini-windows to that value in
emacs-lisp-byte-compile.

But I actually am not sure why (message nil) is used as a knob to
control whether echo-area messages are or aren't displayed.  Can you
explain?
