Yeah, I know is error messages. Still I'd be surprised. I follow the GCC
list, and changes to error messages and warnings are often hot topics.
It would be useful to find out
1. Whether the job done by that file is still necessary.
If the answer to #1 is no, then the file is obsolete.
2. Whether the file still works.
If the answer to #2 is no, then the file could use fixing.
3. If the answers are Yes and No, who would like
to update the file.
Ok. Still, I fail to grasp why you sometimes oppose adding a five-line
function as "cruft", and at some other moment support maintaining a
module no one is sure it's used anywhere :)
A separate file that normally isn't loaded costs very little.
Added text in an existing file makes it more complicated.
Added text in an existing preloaded file also makes the executable bigger.
What about unused.el?
Maybe combine it with misc.el.
