So either the feature's potential is overhyped, its use in the existing
XEmacs implementation is too complex to be used by a "typical"
developer, or something else is amiss.

Based on your experience with XEmacs, would you have suggestions what
uses this feature has been _advertised_ for (perhaps it was so easy to
get in that no advertisement was needed and consequently nobody got
interested enough to try it?), and what made the advertisements, if any,
fall short in execution of their promises?
It is a good goal to concentrate on being best, but we need to think
about best for exactly _what_.
