I should have said that one reason you can't -- or, at least, couldn't
-- just take even assigned code into Emacs is that it may not be covered
by employer disclaimer, if that still makes any difference. (I don't
understand the lawyer's comments on the issues that worried me.) That
code is old enough not to be a problem, though.
However, there's no point unless it's merged back into lisp.el. If you
read the commentary, the whole point is to provide one of the missing
abstractions over major mode features.
