It's very simple: either you think there's a problem with s.el and this
mini-refix gunk, or you don't. If you don't, you should probably be
writing to someone else: this discussion is about a plan to solve it,
but it presume it exists.
If, OTOH, you think it is a problem, and you've a plan for solving it
that somehow doesn't involve changing things, I'd like to hear it. My
plan changes a name, adds two lines of boilerplate, keeps the rest
intact -- and solves the problem. It's not only "workable": it's the
only one.

I searched for 'read-symbol-shorthands' and turned up hits like this

searching for.
