class AnnounceCommand in Drupal 8

AJAX command for a JavaScript Drupal.announce() call.

Developers should be extra careful if this command and \Drupal\Core\Ajax\MessageCommand are included in the same response. By default, MessageCommmand will also call Drupal.announce() and announce the message to the screen reader (unless the option to suppress announcements is passed to the constructor). Manual testing with a screen reader is strongly recommended.
