Sorry if it sounded silly. The setting of the default to t was precisely
targeted to help people like you.
Neither the setting nor the functionality existed before Emacs 23. So, you
didn't miss anything. But, after having added this functionality, I think the
developers believed that people like you might not have been able to discover
the new functionality on your own, unless it was made the default. Are you
agreeing with that assessment?
Other than changing defaults, is there some other form of "advertising" the
Emacs devs could have used to bring it to your attention?
Cheers,
Uday
