The url library is very chatty.  I think most users would get a more
pleasant experience if url-show-status defaulted to nil.  I mean, our
other network libraries don't issue tons of messages every time you
transfer data, so I don't really see why url fetching should be
different.

This would avoid flashing tons of these messages when you read
HTML-based news, for instance:
