Thanks a lot Ryan! I think you're probably the most qualified person to
help out with this. Importing your package as a patch is also probably a
good idea; an advice seems like more of a 3rd-party thing to do.

If it does cause any problems, perhaps you could add an ad-hoc variable
or something and include a check for it in your package. Perhaps it
could issue a warning if it detects that it's running on an Emacs which
has the fix in the core. E.g.,
"Warning: Your Emacs already has this fix in the core, so this package
is actually not needed"

It seems that Stefan has mentioned something on how to deal with this in
an earlier message. I think I've seen this glitch a few times in the
past, but it never bothered me so I didn't really care. I don't know
much else about this particular issue so I can't comment further on it.
