So why don't we have aliases for C-mode, C++-mode, Perl-mode, Emacs-Lisp-mode, Lisp-mode and so on? In all of those cases, the proper name of the language in question would be capitalized. Why do we desperately need a special alias just in exactly that case where it really is likely to cause problems? Again: do you have knowledge of even a single instance where this alias has been used, promoted, or found convenient for or by as much as a single person? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
