What do you mean by "how"? Technically, philosophically, ...? How can GCC
print localized error messages, but still not accept 'double x = 0,25 * 1,0;'
in a C program?
I assume that most Emacs users can tell whether they are interacting with the
Lisp interpreter or the "other" user interface. So, what's the problem?
