Huh? Such a representation is hardly "familiar" as a way of representing funny characters in Emacs. It may not be unreasonable once it's explained, but that's not what I'm disputing. > I never claimed it to be undisputed fact.

The standard method for dealing with potentially controversial changes is to suggest a change, and solicit feedback until a reasonable concensus is reached, or the maintainer makes a decision. This is annoying, I know, but there's a reason for it: if everyone just installed their disputed patches "for people to try out", there would be chaos, something which we especially want to avoid at the moment. Changes once made have a way of sticking around even if they were originally deemed temporary. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
