Re: [Bug: 21.5-b19] constrain-to-field is undefined (fill-paragraph-or-region fails)

I wrote it in Lisp and put it into the packages because I have a pending sync with comint.el that uses the field stuff a lot. As a result of other Ben Wing ports, we also have other packages that make calls into the field code, so we can't move field.el from the packages to core without conditionalizing a bunch of other stuff. Note that fully implementing fields also requires changing the text motion commands to be field-aware, which implies calls from C code to the field API. I have been running with a patch that implements those calls for some time, but haven't committed because of the core vs. package problem. Any suggestions on how to resolve this mess will be met with hugs, kisses, and three hurrahs. On second thought, let's make that a "thank you", and also a cordial handshake should we meet in person. -- Jerry James, who will throw in a hurrah for free http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/
