Can you make `add_settings_error` work for custom top-level admin menus?

Description

Currently when trying to use the Settings API on custom top-level admin menus, add_settings_error will fail to work. It fails silently, and no error message is displayed. I'm told this is because options-head.php is not included on custom top-level admin menu pages.

No worries. When you say component changed from Admin APIs to Plugins, does that mean you're looking for a plugin to fix this?

No, issues regarding the admin menus are simply handled in the plugins component on trac. It's an organizational thing.

Closing as maybelater. Complete lack of interest on the feature on the ticket over the last 2 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch)
