Does anybody have any objection to me making set-minibuffer-window obsolete? It's defined in src/minibuf.c, but not used by any C function, and it's not used by any Lisp in Emacs itself - the nearest to a use is a commented out occurrence in lisp/textmodes/ispell.el. This function just sets the C variable minibuf_window. This variable is defined (by comment) to be the minibuffer window of the selected frame. So setting it to a random mini-window will cause nasty problems. Actually, I'd prefer just to remove the function entirely - but there's always the chance it's being used by some external library. So, any objections? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
