Profiling discloses another hotspot that I can micro-optimize away. 2. We drop Dired and go with something like ewoc. While I'm willing to do the latter, I'm fairly neutral on the design issue. I still want to hear RMS's arguments for retaiming Dired. -- Eric S. Raymond "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." -- Patrick Henry, speech of June 5 1788
