Subject: 25.3;
 ffap's messages don't distinguish between finding, reading, windowing
 and alternating files
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 08:36:02 +0100

Dear maintainer,

please enhance the echo area messages of:

ffap-read-only
ffap-other-window
ffap-read-only-other-window
ffap-alternate-file
ffap-alternate-file-other-window

In contrast to the analogue  messages of

find-file-read-only
find-file-other-window
find-file-read-only-other-window
find-alternate-file
find-alternate-file-other-window

the ffap-* commands show only one and the same message (as ffap) and
don't distinguish their implementation.  This would be helpful.

Thanks

        Dieter
