Emacs is an editor. When introducing new features, the trivial thing to
test is whether "it works". The complicated thing, and that needs many
eyes, is whether something "works right". Only humans can say whether a
feature feels like it's getting in the way of getting things done, or
whether it feels like the right thing to do.
