It's precisely *because* providing such procedures is non-trivial that
Emacs itself usually won't be able to provide a useful one.
I don't know if it is non-trivial. Please show us your concrete
application, and then let's discuss what to do about it.
What if you want to automatically eval only expressions that have been
cryptographically signed by someone you trust? Emacs is not in a
position to implement this in a fully general way right now.
That sounds like TCPA--it is very scary. We don't want to support
that or anything like that.
Yes, they all look roughly like this:
/*
* local variables:
* eval: (load-file "../../tools/dev/svn-dev.el")
* end:
*/
What does this file do? Is there a reason you can't define a major
mode in it, and use that asyou would any other major mode?
