I agree with adding the first helper, specially after Peff's comments,
but I don't see why we would keep the current advise() which
unconditionally shows the message...
As far as I understand from a previous discussion [3], that's a wrong
usage that we need to avoid, quoting from [3]:
```
If there are many other places that calls to advise() are made
without getting guarded by the toggles defined in advice.c, we
should fix them, I think.
```
