plethora of "not re-evaluating defonce" messages

[rbnpi]

I have been writing some live_loops and rather than defining some variable values outside the loop have been using defonce definitions to put them inside the loop, as I think you (Sam) have said previously that it was better not to pass external variable data into a live loop. It works fine, but the output window is rather swamped by not re-evaluating defonce messages each time the loop traverses. Is it possible to add a switch to turn off these messages, just as you can turn off cue messages.

@rbnpi Could You provide some simple snippet that's showing this behaviour?

Here's one

live_loop :test2 do
  defonce :sq do
    0.1
  end
  defonce :q do
    2*sq
  end
  defonce :c do
    2*q
  end
  puts sq
  puts q
  puts  c
  play_pattern_timed [:c4,:d4,:e4,:f4],[sq,q,c,sq]
end

This prevents variables sq,q and c being redefined every time you traverse the loop
At present I chicken out and define them once outside the live loop which works.
Yu will see the multiple messages from defonce, That is what it would be nice to be able to switch off

How would you like to be able to switch off these messages?

I wonder if there's a more general solution to message filtering that could be considered instead of looking at this at a function-by-function basis?
