Drew is not freaking out about anything. _You_ seem to be freaking out about this. Drew said the following, as soon as Johan reminded him that `truncate-partial-width-windows' is not new: > You're right. And with value t, no less. > What is new is the default value of 50. > I stand corrected. > > (I still think a non-nil default value is wrong, FWIW, for > the reasons I gave.) That was Drew's second, and last, input to this thread. If that's "freaking out", then I hate to think what your alarmist and ad hominem reaction is.
