Or a list of regexps for those users who want to inhibit message strings
directly by a regexp instead of messing with an intermediate layer of symbols :)

IOW, I still prefer the simplicity of such regexps as

  (add-to-list 'inhibit-message "^Saved text until")

and can't imagine a situation why I'd want to inhibit such message
for one command but not for another.
