Thanks for bringing this up, Gary. The get_and_delete_messages() thing
has always bothered me -- if it's activated, we do it for every
request. I suppose we could make the 'messages' part of the context
processor lazy, so that it would only call get_and_delete_messages()
if that variable were accessed in the template... Thoughts?
