Or a separate MSGT, perhaps? If they are specifically targeted at
scripts which parse program output, MSGT_PARSERS or the like would seem
appropriate; certainly it should be just as easy (in principle) to
filter what is actually output based on MSGT as on MSGL. Either that or
I'm completely misunderstanding what the MSGT is intended to achieve.
