simpleMessage cannot be muffled (error: No restart muffleMessage found)

[aryoda]

In the current version 1.3.2 (and possibly older ones) some message conditions cannot be muffled but throw an error, eg.:

tryCatchLog(signalCondition(simpleMessage("You cannot muffle simple messages, only standard messages")), silent.messages = T)
# Error in invokeRestart("muffleMessage") : 
# no 'restart' 'muffleMessage' found

Compare: Standard messages can be muffled:

tryCatchLog(message("You cannot muffle simple messages, only standard messages"), silent.messages = T)

First diagnoses:

invokeRestart should only be called if a restart with the name does really exist, eg. here:

tryCatchLog/R/tryCatchLog.R

Line 347 in f3fdebd

invokeRestart("muffleMessage") # the message will not bubble up ("propagate") now but will only be logged

Use findRestart to check this before calling the restart (everywhere in tryCatchLog).

I think "muffle warnings" is also affected (restart not always found, eg. for simpleWarning).
