bug#28878: CEDET merge bug

[Edward Steere <edward.steere@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

Thanks for surfacing this one again Stefan.

I don’t think that the merge was ever completed.

Unfortunately, I think that I bit off more than I could chew when I tried to help out with this one.
I feel that my involvement with the CEDET project was too shallow to really understand how to merge it properly.

There's been some added drift between the CEDET project and core since those efforts.
The drift is largely because of maintenance and API improvements to things like EIEIO.

I'd be happy to assist in some capacity with the merge, but I certainly don’t feel comfortable spear heading it.

Kind regards,

Edward Steere
