Re: `overlay-arrow-position' should be automatically buffer-local

In principle, there is only one overlay-arrow-position variable, and since its value is a marker, its value includes the buffer in which it occurs. This is how e.g. gdb can easily move the overlay arrow between buffers -- just modify the global variable. gdb could use a *gud* buf

Re: `overlay-arrow-position' should be automatically buffer-local

I think you've always been able to make overlay-arrow-position buffer-local. The problem arises when two arrows try to display in the _same_ buffer, then the local value masks the global value. Perhaps this will never happen in Gnus, but in case it does, a good way is to use overlay-ar

Re: `overlay-arrow-position' should be automatically buffer-local

I believe the variable `overlay-arrow-position' should automatically become buffer-local whenever it is set. It appears that Gnus fails to do this manually, instead ending up setting the global value to a marker that refers to the Gnus summary buffer, which doesn't make sense.

Re: rcirc.el

I think it's best if the packages keep their names when they get integrated, unless the name poses a real problem (such as PCL-CVS's file names getting collisions when reduced to 8+3 chars). I do think that users should be able to start an irc session with M-x irc. We can do that without

rcirc.el

Hello, Some weeks ago I offered my irc client, rcirc.el, to the GNU Project. Karl Berry replied to me that after discussion with some of the Emacs developers rcirc should be integrated with the rest of Emacs. What steps need to be taken to complete this process? Thanks, Ryan _
