This function is implemented in Lua here FrameXML/BasicControls.xml.

Displays a message box.

message("text")

Pops up a message box displaying the argument with an "Okay" button inside a frame.
As of 3.1, message() is no longer an alias of the _ERRORMESSAGE function. It is a standalone function that bypasses the cvar "scriptErrors" entirely and always displays an error box.
As of 3.2 message() is broken / Depreciated as the message frame is no longer defined. Suitable alternative is print(...);
