It seems more complicated to me, but I might be wrong just because I did
not think of doing it this way.
I am temporary using the emulation-mode-map-alists just for the purpose
of putting my keymap first among the keymaps. This was not the reason
for which emulation-mode-map-alist was invented, but it works for this
purpose too I believe. I restore emulation-mode-map-alists when the
temporary mode is exited.
The temporary mode is a mode for resizing windows interactively (see
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/DL/elisp/bw-interactive.el). The user will
do a few keystroke in this mode and then exit it. No keyboard commands
except those for the mode are allowed. In post-command-hook I also do
some checks to see if I should exit the temporary mode. (Maybe I should
do more.)
I am trying to understand what you are saying. Can you please explain
what problems you see with what I am doing? I do not think that what I
am doing here can possibly disturb the normal use of
emulation-mode-map-alists, or can it? If it was not just before the
release I might propose a new variable holding a temporary keymap like
in my case, but this is not the time for it. Maybe what I am doing is
unnecessary complicated?
