Thanks. > I was fooled by defvaralias being new. defvaralias is part of Emacs since version 21.1. It does have an entry in NEWS under "Lisp Changes in Emacs 22.1", tho. I wonder why it was put there. Maybe because it wasn't mentioned in NEWS for 21.1? We better mention explicitly that it isn't really new for 22.1, in that case. Lute.
