Do you mean you'll make the C patch available on CVS? I don't catch the
exact meaning of the word 'install' here.

Yes I thought about this. But "record-lisp-" looks too long as a prefix
while "record-" is too general a word that can be mistaken for other
things. I've not come up with a good one yet.

Any suggestion are welcome here regarding the names.

I've not written code to bind keys to these recording commands. I'd leave
decision about the default binding to the emacs developers. Currently using
seperate keys is easier. Doing both together would need some tricky code.
Recording a replayed kbd macro is a partial solution for the moment.
