So, having worked with it a bit, I'm now content with using "silent" to solve this issue. Although a little convoluted, it seems pretty straightforward to put all the commands into a function, and then create a command to call that function with silent. I.e..:
command! MyCommand silent call MyFunction()
Then everything works as expected with MyCommand.
But I am curious as to why you say that the Vim Developers are trying to avoid adding options. Is there any intrinsic reason why adding options is undesirable?
Is it just "feature creep" - i.e., if you do it for me, then you have to do it for the next guy and the next guy and so on?

If possible we want to avoid adding yet another Option.
