That could have many meanings. I hope you don't mean switching from % to ~ to introduce special constructs. That would be extremely painful and I am firmly against it. If what you mean is not an incompatible change in Emacs, then I have no opinion about it a priori. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
