That's what I tried in 'auto-revert-handler':

       (when (and auto-revert-verbose
                  (not (eq revert 'fast)))
         (message "Reverting buffer `%s'." (buffer-name))
         (when (> (minibuffer-depth 0))
           (sit-for minibuffer-message-timeout)
           (message nil)))

But then the message flashes for a short moment here, Emacs redisplays
and switches back to the prompt.  So for some reason 'sit-for' doesn't
work as advertised when Emacs is waiting for input.
