We can use this feature right away. There are a few major modes that are distributed separately, and try to support old Emacs versions. It is ok to do that, but that must not be an obstacle to making the next version of Emacs work right. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
