bug#8628: [Emacs-bug-tracker] Processed: severity 8628 wishlist

Apparently replying to this mail is a no-no.  Has the thread effectively become
/dev/null for the user?  Hopefully changing to <bugno>@debbugs.gnu.org will get
through...

My (apparently disallowed) reply is this:


Why?  I _provided the fix_ already.  You don't even need a patch.

Just remove `thing-at-point-bounds-of-list-at-point' and the
`(put 'list 'bounds-of-thing-at-point
      'thing-at-point-bounds-of-list-at-point)',
as I said earlier.

That cruft serves no purpose.  It just introduces the buggy behavior.
`(bound-of-thing-at-point 'list)' is sufficient - it already does what's needed.
