Hah, oops.  I have a series now to remove SHORT_FIRST_MESSAGE.  It still
won't be perfect here -- there's no cleanup object still and so you
could in theory see too many complaints if you C-c at the wrong time.
I don't think that is super important though.

This makes sense to me too.  I was tempted to just remove it entirely,
but it is nice to be able to throttle the messages, since ordinarily
there are many of the same kind in a given objfile.

Ok, I see.  I thought you meant something where symfile would tell the
complaints system about the module in question.
