Hi Greg --

Yeah, the emacs mode for Chapel is pretty disappointing (and I use it 
constantly).  The current mode was contributed by a student (and was 100x 
better than the previous mode we'd supported which was 10x better than no 
mode at all), but nobody's ever gotten around to building up the nerve and 
time to dive into it and try to fix it.  I can't promise we'll get to this 
anytime soon, as much as I'd like to see if fixed.

My understanding is that the vim mode is much better; but if you're like 
me and completely opposed to switching away from emacs, that's not very 
encouraging...
