OTOH, why not just use
bla bla \message{Here is a note to myself.} bla bla
Just curious: Is there anything that \message is missing for what u want? I tried both inline and multiline combos and they all work like a charm:
========== \starttextHere is some text. \message{Given an action, the recompense is always in proportion to the degree of participation in Consciousness involved.} Here is some text.
Here is some text. \message{Given an action, the recompense is always in
proportion to the degree of participation in Consciousness involved.} Here
is some text.
Here is some text.\message{Given an action, the recompense is always in proportion to the degree of participation in Consciousness involved.}
Here is some text. Here is some text.\message{Given an action, the recompense is always in proportion to the degree of
participation in Consciousness involved.} Here is some text. \stoptext ==========As a feature, I suppose all that's needed -- for the paranoid, maybe you're writing a letter to your boss with hidden curses ;-) -- is the option to suppress the showing of the text on the console/log. Although it's in the source anyway ... For ¿ and ¡ probably some simple catcode trickery will \let you define them as you like.
So I'm curious: How can we define
¿ = \message{
¡ = } % this one is of course trivial, but for completeness...
Since you brought this up, I've actually started using \message more (and
no, not for cursing my boss!)
