There is currently both "emulation" and "emulations" occuring as finder
keywords. Wouldn't it be better if only one of them were used?
"Emulation" seems better to me, but "emulations" is used in majority of
cases.

"emulations" is a standard keyword defined in finder-known-keywords
in finder.el as "emulations of other editors" (though the subdirectory's
name is "emulation"). So we could change the keyword "emulation"
to "emulations" in 3 packages:
* hl-line.el:: highlight the current line.
* cua-base.el:: emulate CUA key bindings.
* pc-select.el:: emulate mark, cut, copy and paste from Motif.

Yes. Or we could change the existing "emulations" to "emulation"...
That's why I didn't come up with a patch -- I would prefer "emulation",
but have no idea what success I'm going to have with such a proposal.
I can certainly live with "emulations" as well; let's just unify it.

Hmm, really it would be better to unify the keyword and the subdirectory.
But renaming the subdirectory would be much more trouble than renaming
keywords in 20 files. So perhaps you are right that the keyword
"emulations" should be renamed to "emulation".

"emulations" is what is specified in finder-known-keywords, so I
corrected the 3 files using "emulation".

I don't care much either way, but as for taste "emulation" seems to make
more sense than "emulations".
