Just thinking out loud here, but it does seem a bit unfortunate to me that it represents a pretty fundamental divergence between the CLI and the emacs interface. Mind you, I guess one could make the same argument about the libs versus the CLI. Lack of configuration information in the library (possibly among other reasons) makes this not too nice to support in the current library either. d
