GNU Emacs made the change (viz. cvs diff -r EMACS_20_2 -r EMACS_20_4
subr.el) without worrying sufficiently about breaking existing code
(see Stefan Reichör's post here <uvfxduzt2.fsf@riic.at>, or run
XEmacs's regression test suite on XEmacs 21.5). I don't see why that
should be a barrier to reverting to the old, regular, behavior now.
I did not know the history of the function. I did not subscribe to
this site four years ago. If I did I would probably have opposed the
original change back then, which might not have made any difference
anyway. I am not part of some "Conspiracy" started four years ago as
others seem to suggest. Anyway, I hope this answers the question of
"And where were you four years ago?" which others asked me. I did not
subscribe to emacs devel back then.
Sincerely,
Luc.
