If it's an informational message, like one you might log, use message().
If
you're rendering an object as text, like in a show method, use cat().
Another thing to consider is that messages can be suppressed with
suppressMessages() but cat() output cannot.
Sure. What I cannot decide is whether that is good or bad.
If you use message(), then you don't need to have a 'verbose' arg since
the messages can be suppressed with suppressMessages(). That makes
your code simpler/cleaner. However this approach is only appropriate if
you want your function to be verbose by default. If you want it to be
quiet by default then I don't know what's best. 'verbose' arg + cat() or
'verbose' arg + message() ? That's the question...

Just my opinion,
