There's been a little traffic recently about possible multithreading support and the effect on let-bound buffer-local variables. Not much discussion so far on the details of the semantics of such cases, but Tom Tromey is looking into this stuff. (I guess I kind of side- tracked some of the discussion onto guile-emacs stuff, oops.) Have you given more thought to buffer-local variables, defvaralias, and other such headaches? Tom's work and yours aren't quite overlapping, but you're close.... Ken
