Any progress on this one, BTW?  It looks like almost everyone is on
board now.  I'd prefer it in core rather than ELPA to make it maximally
easy to switch message-based things to alert.

BTW: it'd be nice if we could extend the package to support
level-oriented notifications as well.  For example, not

  (alert "You have 30 unread mails" :title "Mail!" :id 'new-mail-alert)

but

  ;; init
  (setf my-email-alert (alert-make-notification ...))

  ...

  ;; later
  (alert-set-count my-email-alert 30)


Users could configure count changes to pop up notifications if
they'd like, but could also, e.g. put my-email-alert in the modeline, 
and things using alert-make-notification wouldn't have to care.

We could also have make-progress-reporter and friends integrate into the
general system.  Hard to do that if it's just in ELPA.
