People who do not like this can simply rebind `just-one-space' to M-SPC. Objections? I will probably find it inconvenient. I sometimes type M-SPC when there is already just one space, by force of habit. Of course, I can rebind it -- but how many will dislike the change? The way to find out is by _polling the users_, asking a lot of people to try the change for a few weeks and seeing whether they want it or not. There is no rush about this change. Please poll the users. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.
