I know about that Greek root, but the name "Eglot" conveys no meaning to me. If we imagina thet the package's name were "E-lanmguage", it would still convey no meaning to me. So many things in Emacs are related to languages (either human or programming) and do different things with them, that this doesn't say much. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
