I'm having a bit of a problem with imagining the use case for that bit.
I don't think any users will ever want to look at a log/warning buffer
containing "Sorting threads..." etc -- it looks like a debugging tool
that's should be totally internal and not involve *Warnings* at all.

I don't think any other packages do anything like that with their
logging facilities.
