OK, I didn't mean to pronounce on what Emacs would/should support, but rather to
communicate the part about what users should do now in their code. My reading
was not just that one can feel confident using C-g now but that that is what one
should do, for now.
But anyway, you've obviously read the thread, and all I wanted to do was bring
it to your attention.
