Thanks. I will stick with my original patch and convert the defconst
for `life-patterns' into a defvar, unless there are other objections.
On the other hand, I still plan to keep the defconst for `lao-key-alist'.
I still have the impression that this one should be a defvar too, but
unless a user of lao.el, or somebody familiar with it, confirms this,
I will err on the side of making too few rather than too many changes.
Sincerely,
Luc.
