I do not understand your mental model of a person who uses Emacs. This is code in my .emacs file. I should be able to understand and edit my .emacs file. After all, I do want both to understand and to configure Emacs to my liking. Moreover, as I said, sometimes it is much easier for me to edit my .emacs file than to run Customize. -- Robert J.
