Could someone explain to me more clearly the justification/need for the
latest patch to tex-mode:
I give up.
Someone needs to maintain tex-mode.el who can actually use it and test
it. I can't. If you think it's the right thing to do to revert all or
most or part of the latest patch, please do.
Is it just a case of enthusiasm going a bit over and beyond the call
of duty?
I guess so. I really don't know any more.
Or am I missing something?
You probably aren't, but I don't feel competent to say.
The story is, as tersely explained in the ChangeLog:
1) Olive Lin contributed a small change back in March that added the
shell-quote-argument to tex-send-command.
2) More recently (May 18), Frederik Fouvry reported a problem with
double quoting on tex-print. His original report used 8-bit chars
in filenames, he later told me it happens with any non-posix-safe
char, such as @.
3) Olive, Frederik, rms and I batted it around and no one saw what you
did. For myself, I just said oh, well, here are more calls to
shell-quote-argument, let's remove them. I didn't notice that there
were different arguments involved.
4) Shoot me now.
