Sorry if I have missed that.
The alternative you propose, i.e. making the value a structure is
actually the first approach I attempted in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/137781.
1. all existing register-creating commands need to use the new
implementation, so the patch won't be any smaller.
2. needs explicitly creating a register-value struct i.e.
(register-set ?a (register-value-make ....)). If change
register-set to implicitly convert to a struct then it has
the same incompatible change as I proposed in this bug report.
So the alternative doesn't offer anything better.
If you are agreeable to the patch in
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8415#19, I am ready to
watch closely for any incoming bugs that related to register.el and fix
them as quickly as I can.
