A message control is a static line of text or a static bitmap. The
 text or bitmap corresponds to the message's label (see
@method[window<%> set-label]).

Creates a string or bitmap message initially showing @scheme[label].
 @bitmaplabeluse[label] An @indexed-scheme['app],
 @indexed-scheme['caution], or @indexed-scheme['stop] symbol for
 @scheme[label] indicates an icon; @scheme['app] is the application
 icon (Windows and Mac OS X) or a generic ``info'' icon (X),
 @scheme['caution] is a caution-sign icon, and @scheme['stop] a
 stop-sign icon.

The same as @xmethod[window<%> set-label] when @scheme[label] is a
 string.

Otherwise, sets the bitmap label for a bitmap message.
