Why is emacs-devel now a destination for such

isn't deemed enough for some reason, wouldn't
info-gnu-em...@gnu.org be more appropriate?

FWIW - Revision 1.22 is on MELPA:

(To reach the Emacs maintainers, the emacs-devel list or

alacarte.el replaces icicles-menu.el.
It does not require Icicles, but it is much better with Icicles.

Commands to remove commented lines from 'grep' output and toggle their
automatic removal. Bound to `;' and 'M-;', respectively. Only single-line
comments are removed - e.g. // commented lines are removed, but multiline

I should have added that you can do (add-hook 'compilation-filter-hook
'remove-grep-comments) to _always_ strip the comment lines, if you want to
avoid using `remove-grep-comments' (that is, `;') each time to do that.
`remove-grep-comments' does nothing outside of grep-mode, so this is benign

This could be easily done by using `completing-read' instead of
`read-string' as when searching for tags, but it would be hard to
combine this with supporting entering multiple tags with a comma in

This announces library palette.el, which provides a color palette for Emacs
22. It is is similar to many color-choice dialog boxes that exist outside
Emacs.
Use it to examine color properties or choose colors. You can input colors
using recognized color names, RGB components (red, green, blue), or

As pointed out in the Emacs wiki, recentf.el lacks a minibuffer

FYI - You can also use Icicles to find and visit any file on your file
system, without necessarily knowing its location.

I mentioned library icicles.el on 8/14 (subject "icicles-menu.el", the
sister library). It lets you cycle through the completion candidates, or
complete your input to them, using regexp matching ("apropos completion") or
ordinary prefix matching.
This completion and cycling works not only for comm
