Hi!
In the current Emacs master, 'transpose-words' has a fixme:
;; FIXME: `foo a!nd bar' should transpose into `bar and foo'.
To me this looks like a job for transpose-sexps, not transpose-words.
Would you consider a patch to transpose-sexps that would behave like
this:
1. `foo a!nd bar' should transpose into `bar and foo'.
2. `foo !and bar' should transpose into `and foo bar'.
3. `foo! and bar' should transpose into `and foo bar'.
4. `foo a!nd bar baz' should transpose into `baz and bar foo'. (if prefix arg is 2)
I plan to make the function to create the input points for
'transpose-subr-1' such as this for case 1:
foo a|nd bar
^ ^ ^ ^
instead of:
foo a|nd bar
^ ^^ ^
What do you think? Would this have some adverse impact to other
languages, such as lisp or others?
Theo
