Subject: Re: convert-standard-filename on w32 does not preserve match-data?

Message-ID: <E1GzyuC-00052C-4v@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

The code using convert-standard-filename probably already feels a bit
overloaded. convert-standard-filename is an "add on" to what one
actually tries to do and it is easily left out. Requiring the coder to
also add save-match-data seems like an unnecessary burden in this case
and I therefore think that convert-standard-filename should call
save-match-data internally.
That is how I see it.
There will be some cases where for speed it is better not to do
save-match-data. But in many cases the cleanliness of adding it
is more important than the speed of omitting it.
