This is not possible at the moment because one has to be able to insert
something in the output buffer when TeX is run interactively.

In general, though, I think it would be a good for the output buffer to
be more easily dismissable (especially when it is shown through `C-c
C-l').  But I haven't had the time to think about how such a feature
could be supported.
