Then like 'signal' uses 'ERROR-SYMBOL' as an error symbol, not string,
'user-message' should use a symbol as well, e.g. in 'indicate-copied-region':

  (user-message
   'indicate-copied-region
   "Saved text until \"%s\"" (buffer-substring-no-properties (- mark len) mark))

then users put a property on that symbol:

  (put 'indicate-copied-region 'inhibit-message t)

to disable the message.
