I propose that if MSGFILES is () that the error be forced to the terminal
if Lisp wants to do that, but if MSGFILES is non-(), it should only go to
there. That will let us create an SFA to gobble all error messages and
behave appropriately. -kmp
Sounds good - I've just made that patch. I believe that there is only one
place, in ERRPRINT, where the "inhibit-forcing-the-TTY" bit is set, relevant
to this problem.
