Disagree. We are talking about code that is potentially develped
completely separate from this project. The point of the API is
to allow that to happen. If we give such developers some basic
guarantees about low level functions and macros we promise not to
screw with, then they can work independent of us and vice versa.
There are people using XEmacs for purposes you cannot imagine.

In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write
as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me
mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding.
