Would love to see it linked in too ;) Patches welcome (actually, you can start from http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/other-branches/gerd_big/ which has an old patch for it). Note that it's not nearly as simple as it sounds: you have to add a new type, and then make primitives accept it. But you don't have to update all primitives at once to make it useful, so it can be made incrementally. Stefan
