I think this is a fine idea.  And, if implemented (not necessarily pre-1.0), 
could do two things:  1)  it could make all after spell cast messages to the 
user a uniform style, and therefore be easier to spot, and  2)  it could be 
set in sorcery to be handled at the end of the cast of spells (rebuild, 
update, etc.), rather than at the end of each individual spell, making it 
more likely that the information would be seen by the user.
