I wish we'd just change `message` so that (message STR) is treated as
(message "%s" STR).  While it might theoretically introduce some
breakage at places that double % signs before calling `message` (tho
those places are better served by (message "%s" STR) so there should be
precious few sufferers), I suspect that it will fix more places that
naively call (message STR) without realizing that STR might contain %
chars that are treated as formatting codes.
