Perhaps the easiest way forward would be to make it a defcustom, or something like one. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I'd forgotten about that bug. Yes, something should be done, to bring this feature up to the level of current Emacs. A priori, I don't really care what is done or how. IOW, I trust your judgment on this. The point is that Emacs should not still be writing to a users init file. As mentioned in that other bug thread, two alternative suggestions were: * Replace this way of enabling/disabling with a way that uses defcustom. (It could involve a wrapper around the `put' thingy or something else.) * Keep the current mechanism, but write to a different file from the init file (and different from `custom-file'). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
