Nonetheless there may be more cases where a class gets applied to a
system message.

E.g., when there were no translations for "compound", using the compound
directive caused an informational system message which appeared *before*
the compound block.

I guess I could find more examples.  Trying to fix them all takes too
much time.

So would you object to skipping system_messages when applying classes?
Or are there any disadvantages of doing so?
