I think this shoula also apply to considering a feature that would be an incompatibility, or would voilate established conventions and patterns. Incompatibilities include changing the behavior of a series of keys which isn't erroneous (for instance, C-x o o or C-x o ,). An example of violating a pattern is defining C-x followed by a capital letter to mean something different from the corresponding lower-case letter. -- 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)
