Public bug reported:

Wanting certain messages that get added to $_SESSION['messages'] to
display in places other than the <div id="messages"></div> place at top
of page.

To handle this I am thinking that a 'placement' variable needs to be
added to message items. This way one could easily specify the place on
the screen where the message is to appear.

So that the code to add a message to an alternative place, for example
under the login auth box, would be:

  $SESSION->add_ok_msg($mymessage, false, 'loginbox');

and in the login.tpl template have

  {dynamic}{insert_messages placement='loginbox'}{/dynamic}


for all the session messages with out placement specification - they would get displayed in the default place.
