`toNoExplanation` was an old-style implicit conversion. It could not be made a `Conversion` since it was defined over a call-by-name argument. It also hid important implementation details since it delayed constructing the argument. So knowing whether a string would be evaluated strictly or lazily depended on knowing how type inference would work. We replace the conversion by a combination of - an extension method `.toMessage` converting a lazy string explicitly, and - some overloading of core methods that take either a message or a lazy string. We should over time get rid of overloads and convert most strings passed as messges to proper messages. But that will take time. At least by now we see better where the work is needed.

I missed this removal. Was it intentional? It's the only use of the setting (AFAICT).

I think that was by accident.
