the current implementation of `eepitch-preprocess-line', described here, (find-eepitch-intro "3.3. `eepitch-preprocess-line'") http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eepitch-intro.html#3.3 is stable. After years thinking on what would be the right way to implement preprocessing I found that way, that it is flexible enough and elegant enough. It will not change - neither in the next 10 years, or ever(*). I'm not sure if I read your e-mails correctly, but you seem to be suggesting that there are users who would like to use `eepitch-preprocess-line', but for whom the step of putting a block of four lines like this one ;; See: (find-eepitch-intro "3.3. `eepitch-preprocess-line'") (setq eepitch-preprocess-regexp "") (defun eepitch-preprocess-line (line) (replace-regexp-in-string eepitch-preprocess-regexp "" line)) in their ".emacs"es is too hard. Well, if I had to interact with a user like that I would say something like: `eepitch-preprocess-line' is a feature that should only be used by people who know how `defun' works... so please read the first six sections of this tutorial when you have time: (find-elisp-intro) http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-elisp-intro.html Anyway: I like `eepitch-preprocess-line' very much, but I think that `eepitch-preprocess-regexp' 1) could be made into a function, 2) could have a shorter name. What do you think of this? ;; See: (find-elnode "Creating Buffer-Local") ;; (find-elnode "Creating Buffer-Local" "defvar-local") ;; (find-hvariable 'eepitch-pl-re) (defvar-local eepitch-pl-re nil) (defvar eepitch-pl-re-mail-reader-mode "^ ") (defun eepitch-pl-re () (or eepitch-pl-re (and (eq major-mode 'hlavaty-mail-reader-mode) eepitch-pl-re-mail-reader-mode) "")) ;; See: (find-eepitch-intro "3.3. `eepitch-preprocess-line'") (defun eepitch-preprocess-line (line) (replace-regexp-in-string (eepitch-pl-re) "" line)) ;; TODO: Use `eepitch-pl-flash-re'. See: ;; http://angg.twu.net/elisp/eepitch-pl-tools.el.html ;; http://angg.twu.net/elisp/eepitch-pl-tools.el ;; (find-anggwget-elisp "elisp/eepitch-pl-tools.el") ;; (find-eevgrep "grep --color=auto -nH --null -e flash *.el") I haven't tested it. I would be great if you could play with it for some days, modify it to make it more convenient to use, and then discuss your ideas... Cheers, Eduardo... (*): there are some things in eepitch that I would like to change, but I don't want to break existing code, so I would do that by implementing an "eepitch2" in which the code is factored differently and special behaviors are easier to set up...
