What Bob has said in these messages is valid, and people who don't know it should learn it. However, it is true that the people on this list generally know these points. So I think the right way to mention them here is with a brief reminder, rather than an essay explaining the points as if to people who had not heard them.
These essays can be useful to publish in places where they will be read by people who are not already aware of the issues. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
