Is this something we would _want_ to do? What would its implications be for Emacs?

But I'm sure we should think about that before we decide. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
