It becomes a problem when a message arrow will span more than
the default/current vertical line length. I will give a small example. 
I have two objects TEST and GAME. Then I place a message arrow
(named start) between
the two objects: 
TEST--start-->GAME
Then the execution is directed to the "start" method of
the GAME obejct. Then the start method calls several other
objects such that 
TEST--start-->GAME
                --------->object1
                <---------
                --------->object2
                <--------- 
                --------->object3
                <---------
   <------------                  
This means 
that the message arrow "start" between TEST and GAME will span
more than the default vertical line. Then it would be nice just
to resize the "start" message downwards, further down than
the default length.
   
I have to place another message arrow just to extend the 
vertical line.
Then I can resize the "start" message such that is spans over
all the message calls made from within the "start" message. Finally
I delete the noname message, and the operation is completed.
