I wanted to do this, but it came at the wrong time; and then there was the security issue of the feature of feeding arbitrary expressions to Emacs. How have people dealt with this question? Left to my own devices I am inclined to pick one of the gnuserv variants and get it working within the current Emacs CVS tree and then retire emacsclient/emacsserver. It might be good to do this, but we have to make sure that whatever version we use, was written only by people we have papers from.
