I try to keep my mail flow at a manageable level, so I'd rather not
subscribe.

Yeah. I guessed I should have a stroll into xtla's customize group...

Wow! There's a lot of nice stuff in here!

I see an option to use --forward... It's amazing how far a no-op can
go...

Mh... switch-to-buffer-mode dedicated-frame is not implemented... Let us
update xtla... Still not here. Bah, single-window is okay.

There is (currently) no way to have partial inventories with tla. I was
just thinking about optional folding of contents to make browsing
easier, and something more like an outliner, rather than dired.

Okay. Stefan Reichoer must have not merged it yet.

Nice, I saw that you can generate log-for-merge output automatically
with the tla-log-insert-last customization.

"C-x t" it is for me now, until I find the package which already uses
