Right. But any technical arguments?
What's the difference between solving this in Lisp, which you
would accept, and solving this in C+Lisp? It's a two line change
like a zillion others just one of the lines happens to be
a single assignment in C.
I can offer to maintain this feature, or the whole display_mode_element
& friends. Any other grey-hair inducing outstanding bugs (apart from this
one I've found).
