But how long? PROPOSAL Want a command that will show just when another command joined emacs, without one having to pour thru OONEWS files. For instance, C-x C-j is bound to dired-jump, but for just how long has this been the case? Well, such dates could come up with C-h f output, or maybe another specialized command could be made. A mere C-? C-? C-x C-j would tell me C-x C-j has been bound to dired-jump since 3 Sep 1998 dired-jump has existed since 2 Sep 1997 it was implemented by RMS upon the urging of Chip Fiasco with the assistance of Chuck Burger after an idea posted by Clark Kvnt OK, it is easy enough to see the source dired-x.el however the dates of birth of each individual command have been thrown away, and all be know is the date list at the top of the file... Anyways, maybe put the date of birth of each function into its docstring. I mean many man pages have "a xxxx command existed in Version 7 UNIX", "Example of in HTML 2.0, 3.2..." -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
