Thanks, I installed the attached patch into Emacs master. It's the same as your patch, but with the ChangeLogs redone to match our current style. (Admittedly our current ChangeLog style is complex; on my list of things to do is simplify this; please see .) This patch is small enough that it can be installed as a tiny change without copyright papers (and that's why it's marked "(tiny change)" in the attached patch). If you would like to get more changes installed in the future, would you be willing to jump through the copyright-paperwork hoops? If so, please reply privately and I'll send you the info needed to get the ball rolling on that.
