So we're up to a policy decision on the part of the Emacs maintainers now. I looked at the C source. It's quite small, and if reimplemented as part of Emacs, will be even smaller (no need to reinvent XCAR, intern, etc.). So I see no problems with adding this to the Emacs sources, probably as a separate C file. John?
