Package: emacs20
Version: 20.3-5
Severity: wishlist
I'm using auto-insert. But unlike the documentation suggests, I
added `auto-insert' in `find-file-not-found-hooks' rather than
`find-file-hooks'. This has the advantage that Emacs doesn't
waste precious milliseconds loading autoinsert.elc if I just edit
existing files.
There's a problem, though: "The functions [in
`find-file-not-found-hooks'] are called in the order given until
one of them returns non-nil." The return value of auto-insert is
not documented and seems to depend on many things.
IWBNI `auto-insert' were changed to return non-nil iff it inserts
something. In the meantime, I think I'll write a wrapper.

Well, that could be controlled by putting the hooks in the right
order. But anyway I don't actually use vc-file-not-found-hook.

Thank you; I was not aware of that feature. It was apparently
added on 1998-02-01 and included in the Emacs 20.4 release.
