Why does suppressMessages not suppress the geom_histogram bins message?

Per the help page, the message is didactic, because

The [binwidth] default is to use the number of bins in bins [which is NULL], covering the range of the data. You should always override this value, exploring multiple widths to find the best to illustrate the stories in your data.

Per the help page, the message is didactic, because

Is there anyway to turn it off in a non-global way?

[technocrat]

Can't come up with a setting that would turn it off without creating a custom stat_bin and omitting

    if (is.null(params$breaks) && is.null(params$binwidth) && is.null(params$bins)) {
      cli::cli_inform("{.fn {snake_class(self)}} using {.code bins = 30}. Pick better value with {.arg binwidth}.")
      params$bins <- 30
    }

params appears to be defined locally, so can't be over-ridden globally.
