In all honesty, as other have mentioned as well, this is a tough nut to crack and requires some intimate knowledge of Emacs and Lisp internals to get overall right. As much as it pains my ego to say: I'm not that guy. If we were talking about C++, Python or whatever, I would still be hesistant due to the huge codebase of Emacs but at least those languages I know pretty darn well with all their ins and outs. I can absolutely not say the same for Lisp. So long, Matthias -- Dipl.-Inf.
