Making all calls from C go through the symbol's function field rather than calling the C function directly, so as to make advice work right, is unlikely to happen any time soon. But if you have specific requests of particular functions which might deserve such a treatment, we might do it (tho it'll probably depend on the specifics). After all, I did do such a change myself for `expand-abbrev' in the past. Stefan
