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.
