I think the crucial question was _where_ this discussion took place. It was in the bug reporting list, not emacs-devel. I have complained before that the practice of discussing a feature change on the bug list caused feature change ideas not to be recognized as such. People should help notify all of us that we are discussing a feature change. -- 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)
