It'd be nice to be able to add warning / info messages to ide-backend. Two recent cases where this would be helpful:
1) Warning the user when GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is being unset (see #295 / #294).
2) Warning when there might be an ide-backend / ide-backend-server mismatch #292
One thing to note is that some ide-backend users assume it's silent. In particular, stack-ide uses stdout, with a particular protocol, for communication.
