I like this patch very much. That is what I needed for many years. But I think asking people to try it out will not result in many responses. People who like it will start using it silently, and people who don't like probably will not try it. The only way to get more opinions is to install it and wait for a reaction. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
