Description
For example, the first sample code in ?plot_ly is
plot_ly(economics, x = ~pop)
Running that results in
No trace type specified:
Based on info supplied, a 'histogram' trace seems appropriate.

Sometimes this comes out as a warning and sometimes as a message. There are a variety of ways to deal with workarounds trying to suppress warnings/messages they're not ideal. It would be great if there was a parameter that would allow us to suppress such messages

Research direction
Start with the plot_ly entry point and reproduce the plot_ly(economics, x = ~pop) example from ?plot_ly. Trace where the "No trace type specified" warning or message is emitted and determine how a suppression parameter should cover both forms. Done means callers can suppress this output while existing behavior remains unchanged when the parameter is not used.
