I haven't tried it though I suspect you're right. However, how in the hell
else are we ever going to reduce the number of different Python modes? So,
today the new python.el maintainer seems happy. Assume GNU Emacs sucks it
up. Two years from now the maintainer gets cranky, has a kid, I don't know,
but something causes him to stop maintaining the code. You wind up with
something which causes yet another fork. Will the GNU Emacs people ever
accept XEmacs compatibility fixes?
It's ridiculous. I don't want to be a developer of this stuff. I just want
it to work. Maybe it's just time to face the music and conclude that I
should switch away from XEmacs. *sigh*
