ok, but I think those messages should never be silently ignored (unless 
the user wants it that way). Currently, the user has to be the "active 
part" and has to inspect the messages (by writing quite a bit of code), 
otherwise they get ignored. I'd like to see pyplusplus to take over the 
active part on this issue (as it would otherwise produce code that 
doesn't work). This can also be done in the "high level layer", that's 
why I wanted to check what the recommended way to obtain those messages 
efficiently is.
