This introduces some unsymmetry, but you are right, I don't know of a use case for forcing CT off either. >> There >> would be a separate lfun for setting the default in the file. > > A minor technical question: there are no LFUN for document settings > usually right? You are suggesting a new LFUN for convenience? There are not many, but some exist (e.g. textclass-apply). I do not know why there are so few lfuns for document settings, but to me it looks natural to have one. >> In this case, the file syntax would be kept, but the meaning of >> \track_changes would change a bit. > > I made it a file format change because I imagined that we would have to > reset the state of the setting while converting, but good to know that > you are ready to obviate this step. > > >> After thinking a bit about this >> suggestion I believe it could be a good compromise for everybody, and I >> would not treat this as a file format change. > > Either that, or add a git mode, in which case it would be good to add > the setting before 2.2, even if it does not encompass everything right > from the start.
