Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 19:52:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1R7c16-0004tU-KS@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <83pqipoios.fsf@gnu.org> (message from Eli Zaretskii on Sat, 24 Sep 2011 22:15:47 +0300)

    I don't think modifying entries in a char-table creates a new one.  It
    just modifies entries in the existing one.  Perhaps Handa-san could
    comment on that.

It would be terribly unclean to change that data structure globally
rather than make a copy.  And it would affect all buffers at once.
This ought to be a per-buffer feature.

    It could be done, but why hard-code in C what can be done in Lisp?

Because there is only one thing to be done, and it is so simple in C.
