(the choice: blink between filled box and hollow box or blink between filled box and blank). Is this user option really necessary? We should not add a new user option just because its definition is meaningful and *someone* might want it, because that would make Emacs even more bloated. We have to *try* to keep the growth of user options in check, by adding only those that are substantially important--those that we expect more than a few users would want. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
