IOW, we don't need format-message at all. Instead we can just have
a "prettify" function which can be used on the output of `format' (or on
any other string we like) and which uses some heuristic to turn `...'
into its ‘...’ equivalent.
I'm not sure I like the idea of a heuristic, but it does sound better
than an "almost like ‘format’ but different".
