```
pane.Pane.display(self, message: &str) -> Result<(), Error>
```

Show a message on the clients viewing this pane's window.

The showing half of tmux's `display-message`. Nothing is returned
because nothing is read: use [`Self::format`] to get text back.
Succeeds when nobody is watching, having shown it to nobody.
Like [`Self::format`], this interprets the message as a tmux format;
command and recursive formats can run shell commands.

# Errors

Returns an error when tmux cannot be reached or refuses the message.
