emacs-lisp/cust-print.el

[Andreas Schwab]

I think the file emacs-lisp/cust-print.el is obsolete, since all
functionality (and more) is supported by the lisp printer since a long
time.  Any objection to moving it to obsolete?

cust-print seems to have one feature not present in the standard
printer: the variable `custom-printers'.  In principle, it could
be useful.  But I am not sure if it is useful enough to keep.
Does anyone think so?

Nothing in Emacs uses cust-print except edebug, which provides
functions for using cust-print but doesn't use it by default.
Let's first try deleting them and see if anyone misses them.

Why not first move it to `obsolete'?

This is exactly what I have proposed.

Are we talking about the same thing?  I am talking about code in
edebug.el.  I deleted it yesterday.  Now let's see if anyone
misses it.

Meanwhile, nobody responded regarding the `custom-printers' feature.
