That sounds a lot like taking a horrible mess, and making it even more
horrible and messy to me ...

which seems like quite step in the wrong direction.

What changed incompatibly to make it not work?  And what would need
patching to fix that?

I'd really much rather see problems get fixed than layered under even
more problems.  If someone familiar with Emacs has some details of what
doesn't work, and what needs to be done so that it will, that sounds
like a separate bug to be addressed to me.

  Cheers,
