We could think of a global setting to either:
- disable them completely
- enable them
- force them to be displayed (for string-only ones) in the app's status
bar if any (would be registered with a BWindow:: call (beware,
BStatusBar is a progressbar, not what we want)).
And make it clear in the docs that they might not be displayed and
should not be used for data display.
