I'm going to assume you mean that you prefer emacs' current behavior: I do not propose changing the current default, the patch I sent is merely to quickly allow people to see/test the behavior I would like to be able to optionally enable. So even if this were to be included in emacs, you wouldn't have to do anything to not have it. Best, Moritz
