AFAIK, you never proposed any code. > And that's for a very definite reason: the novice who wrote it wasn't willing to put up a fight just because no new C code is welcomed any longer into emacs.  I don't know where you got the idea that no new C code is welcome, or from whom. We are adding C code to Emacs all the time. Just look at the Git log. I've re-read that past discussion, and didn't see any sign of such a message in anything I wrote there. This must be some gross misunderstanding. If something I wrote is the culprit, I apologize.
