* automatically removed from the stack a fixed period of time
* after they are pushed.
*
* "Flashed" warnings and errors will persist longer than normal
* messages.
*
* There is no simple "pop" operation provided, since these

* assuming that the message you pushed is still on top is an
* invalid and unsafe assumption.
