Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2018 02:06:22 -0700

Currently, keyboard.c calls do-auto-save directly and passes nil to the
NO-MESSAGE arg. It would be nice if there was a way to pass t in these
situations in order to suppress the message. Perhaps a new var to
suppress the auto-save message in all cases?

This has been asked about and/or hacked around (by disabling the normal
auto-save mechanisms and adding an idle timer) a number of times:
