I think you may be alone here.  If I read Mark's comment correctly, Rev 
hasn't used that message in a long time, and looking through the MC IDE 
it seems it's been dormant there as well in favor of checking the 
result, since at least half a decade ago.

It'll be tough to make a business case for reverting to the message 
after all this time, esp. given the convenient immediacy of just 
checking the result.

Look at it this way:  Sure, it's extra work, but you do it once, it only 
takes a few minutes, and it's done forever.
