If you examine the packages in ELPA you will see they conform very well to a decided form. Everyone who has done work on such or even used them and examined the source would see that file isn't prepared for that. And och course nothing intended for personal use with no usefulness to the general Emacs public is ever added to core Emacs _or_ ELPA. Did you and Eli just discovered this? Okay, whatever, we are on the same page then that a math library must be prepared and written very well, but to the form and what it offers. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
