BTW what are suitable returns from Emacs report functions for you.
As choices coming into my mind for the moment are:
- simple get it returned
yes as in
position = Emacs_fetch ("current character position", buffer = "focus")
buffer_list = Emacs_fetch ("buffer list")
that looks like a list of values as parse-partial-sexp returns for example,
right?
I'll need a bit more of an explanation please. I looked up the definition of
cars-partial-Saxby[1] and it was not clear to me. I need more context.
Even if neither Emacs nor Python related, I'll take occasion to mention
Chaumont Devin, a poet from Hawai, who wrote some interesting computer
linguistics and told a similar story beside. Here the adress of his language
works:

fascinating. It takes a bit of time to digest. I'll need to meditate on it a
bit. I'm always looking for potential sources of ideas for the next stage which
is translation to and from code/speakable language.
for some reason, his site reminds me of the following quote from George Bernard
Shaw:
"""The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists
in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the
unreasonable man."""
