I didn't understand all the details of the proposal. That being said, I'm not
sure I like the idea of losing my Emacs session merely because some regular
expression got too long. Sure, Emacs would create a bunch of autosave files that
I can recover file data from, but if my session has been going for hours or days
it'll have quite a bit of state that isn't in any buffer associated with a file,
and I'd rather not lose that state. So although it'd be fine to have
async-signal-safe autosave as an option, as a user I'd like to also retain the
option for Emacs to keep doing the same old unsafe stuff that it's been doing
for decades, at least until after we get in-the-field experience with the new
approach.
