It's not a question of style: $ is usually incorrect, tho it will usually work just fine in 99.99999% of the cases (very few files have \n embedded in their name). > What's the latest on the policy for adding stuff to auto-mode-alist and > interpreter-mode-alist? Should it go in files.el or be autoloaded? I'm favorable to adding it via autoload as long as its order on the auto-mode-alist is not important. Stefan
