Emacs is a complex beast, but for a reason: it reflects a wildly diverse community, which came together over many years and use it in staggeringly different ways. Changing something in core will almost surely have consequences you didn't plan for :) > If it is not possible to implement > this, or if nobody else thinks it would be useful, that's fine. Mine was just an assessment. I don't speak (by far!) for the Emacs community. I was just musing that you might have better chances of trying things out if you don't aim straight at core.
