I don't think there's a hurry, in this respect. It's a UI change, so we can change it later without breaking other people's code. > `electric-pair-preserve-balance' is a new feature and the old behaviour > for quote-pairing will almost surely annoy any new adopters. We'll see if we get many complaints. > Anyway I've haven't gotten little feedback for this feature, negative or > positive. `electric-pair-mode' (even the old one) is not a commonly used option, IIUC. This is largely because it's not enabled by default, many people don't like/want such a feature, and those who do want it have many ways to get it, many of which predate electric-pair-mode. I do hope/expect it to become the standard way to get the feature, but it'll take a little while to get there. Stefan
