List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:2366 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:2366 Why does this function use `buffer-substring' instead of `buffer-substring-no-properties'? Isn't this just a historical flaw, from when the latter function didn't exist? I can't think of when I *ever* want properties copied to my kill ring. Can we just change this, and thus obviate the primary reason why people use overlays? John
