C-u what-cursor-position should mention colors

[Dan Jacobson]

C-u what-cursor-position and describe-char-after should also say
something about the font-lock-stuff.

I mean C-u what-cursor-position tells me in excruciating detail all
the details of a character, but neglects to tell me why it is in
purple and its twin neighbor isn't.

    character: f (0146, 102, 0x66, U+0066)
      charset: [ascii] (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
   code point: [102]
       syntax: w 	which means: word
     category: a:ASCII   l:Latin  
  buffer code: 0x66
    file code: 0x66 (encoded by coding system undecided-dos)
      display: by this font (glyph code)
       -outline-Kamita
Emacs-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-80-iso8859-1 (0x66)

  There are text properties here:
    face                 [font-lock-keyword-face]
    fontified            t
    hilit-chg            hilit-chg

Isn't that last part "something about the font-lock stuff", among other things?

As this message is directed to `bug-gnu-emacs', Dan probably is using
Emacs 21 which doesn't contain this information (okay, it must be
Emacs 21 because of `describe-char-after').  Dan, you should always
include the version numbers (also applies to bug-reports for Gnus, of
course).

Bye, Reiner.

Ugh, you're right.

I've seen so many messages by Dan that I deluded myself into thinking
he was running HEAD.
