Actually when I saw stuff like + (read-from-minibuffer + (if (and lastto lastfrom) + (format "%s (default %s -> %s): " string + (query-replace-descr lastfrom) + (query-replace-descr lastto)) + (format "%s: " string)) I had dedicated that this was implementing the "use -> for shorthand entry proposals" which it doesn't. I was probably led astray by the total amount of correlated changes that factor out query-replace-read-args into different routines and similar. > So please complain more constructively by telling me which part of > my changes is a disruptive change that was not discussed.

So it appears that I owe you an apology and/or a beverage of your choice. I am probably too touchy about this issue because I increasingly get the feeling that it was my involvement with replace.el that tempts everybody to tack features onto it. I hate feeling like pandora. At least that was the impression I gathered from the talks, and I only checked very superficially what had happened in the actual code after a bug report in the area "replace.el does not work anymore" came through for which I felt responsible. Sorry for that. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
