I'll take a look at these...

and these, but concur that Andy is the best person to review them, and I
agree that Andy should approve the merge overall in any case.

Still reviewing the wip-elisp-rebased branch in my spare time; so far I
haven't found any noteworthy problems, not that I was expecting to :)

A minor point: IMHO the "(Best-ability ChangeLog annotation ...)" lines
aren't the ideal way to credit you, in terms of commit message
formatting. I'd prefer using git 'trailers' for in-commit credit, so
that it's obvious to both humans and git that it's commit metadata. I'm
not sure there's a conventional git trailer for this...something like
'ChangeLog-by:' would be probably be clear enough. But if you prefer the
current formatting and it works with Guile's ChangeLog generator, I
don't mind leaving it as-is (except perhaps "s/Best-ability //" after
I've reviewed everything :)) WDYT?

Thanks,
Robin
