It is another thing to simply remove `ucs-insert' as a command. That is not kosher. That is not deprecation - it is immediate desupport. Please restore `ucs-insert', at least as an alias, so that users and code that calls `ucs-insert' do not find themselves orphaned. Furthermore, I see this in NEWS: ** `insert-char' is now a command, and `ucs-insert' an obsolete alias for it. No, the latter part is apparently not true. Neither `M-x' nor `C-h f' recognizes `ucs-insert' at all. I also do not understand this, which is the only occurrence of `ucs-insert' in the distributed Lisp files: (define-obsolete-variable-alias 'ucs-insert 'insert-char "24.2") What is that about? Variable? Seems like this is the cause of the bugged behavior: the function no longer exists.
