\description{
This function is used to suppress information printed from external functions
that make internal use of \code{link{message}} and \code{\link{cat}}, which
provide information in interactive R sessions. For simulations, the session
is not interactive, and therefore this type of output should be suppressed.
For similar behavior for suppressing warning messages see
\code{\link{suppressWarnings}}, though use this function carefully as some
warnings can be meaningful and unexpected.
