| Why not
| 
|    static bool sent_space_message = false;
|    if (!sent_space_message)

{

|       if (cursor.pos() == 0)
|          bview->owner()->message(...)
|       else
|          bview->owner()->message(...)
|    sent_space_message = true

}

| (and the inner if can be repalced by  '? :')

but don't do that... imho ?: should only be used for simple and
_short_ constructs.
