In dispatcher.el? `dispatcher' is a too technical term. A more user-friendly term would be `alternatives' like you can see on GNU/Linux in /etc/alternatives/ that can be customized with such commands: update-alternatives --config x-www-browser update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser Using similar names like `alternatives-define' and more specific `www-browser-alternatives' or `browse-web-alternatives' would be more familiar to the users of GNU/Linux. IOW, you took the subject of http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-06/msg01427.html too literally. There is no word "dispatcher" anywhere in command and variables proposed by Stefan in this message.
