My original report was about enabling these in init.el and seeing the
message in the *Messages* buffer.  I have the following in my init:

(size-indication-mode)
(column-number-mode)
(show-paren-mode)
(recentf-mode)
(which-function-mode)
(global-hl-line-mode)
(context-menu-mode)			; new in Emacs 28
(global-so-long-mode)
(repeat-mode)				; new in Emacs 28

Of the above, only recentf-mode and repeat-mode write to the
*Messages* buffer on startup.  I added electric-pair-mode to my
init and it did not write to *Messages* though if I toggle it interactively
with M-x it does output (I assume to the echo area).
