Maybe there's a way to keep calling it > s.el and let every client keep using (require 's). We could have a file s.el which is not an ordinary file of Lisp, but rather a special stub for 'require' to access. (require 's) would load magnars.el, then set up the renamings for the rest of the containing file so that it can say s-foo and that will be renamed to magnars-foo. The s.el file can include a precise list of the necessary renamings for callers to use. This woud be updated by scanning magnars.el. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
