Well said. The only one stepping forward with some code was Stefan,
and personally, I find it a bit discouraging that folks just keep
saying what "Emacs Should Do" without investing much effort into
understanding what's there and what other users need/want.
Software development is a collective effort, and it takes listening
as well as talking, I think.
