redundant because all the lines remain visible on the screen, whereas
in the interactive case the user can only see the last message (in the
echo area), and thus leaving the "Loading..." message there could be
misinterpreted as if the load is still in progress.
Got it.  Is it worth turning this into a code comment, before that second block?
