Ah, I see. At some point I'll look into what sort of messages
'inhibit-message' acts on. For now, what I'm most concerned with is
the "Beginning of buffer" / "End of buffer" popping up when in the
minibuffer. Particularly when in evil-mode on the ex command line and
the command gets overlayed with "End of buffer", which I find jarring.

And that works perfectly! 

Thanks,
