0004235: Expedition leader X has become expedition leader
Unnecessary or uninformative message, that can happen early in the game, if the leader changes professions while a leader.

Expect either:
1. No message at all since the noble profession hasn't changed, but civilian profession has.

2. Show the civilian professions in the message even if they are the leader (doctor X has become a miner).
1. Embark with a dwarf that has the most social skills and novice in all medical skills.
2. Give him the miner job with a pick.
3. Have him mine soil for a little bit.
4. Once his mining skill exceeds his medical skills the message will pop up.
I assume all noble or military positions that override civilian professions and if they can gain civilian skills could also be affected.

This doesn't seem to be a different issue than 0001789, so I'm resolving this in favor of that report.
