I am bloody old school... commit 734a9f369ae0c5f4e4f28610bb4be3c96b74e2a2 Author: Gerd Moellmann Tue Apr 24 12:56:26 2001 Committer: Gerd Moellmann Tue Apr 24 12:56:26 2001 (string-rectangle): Revert to 20.x behaviour. (replace-rectangle): Make it an alias for string-rectangle. (string-insert-rectangle): New function. If you were bloody old school, you'd rejoice in having back the 20.x behavior. Instead you complain about a change that is not even 10 years old. -- David Kastrup
