Because some people may have good ideas, or point out problems. You asked the odd question `How does emacs know when it's currently in an important case,' and I was pointing out that `important case' merely referred the way I had thought about the problem. [That's why I emphasized `I've' -- not as some sort of claim of authority, but to contrast with `emacs'.] -Miles -- P.S.
