Re: Moving file associations to packages

Ville> How about moving the stuff currently in files.el to Ville> packages? It doesn't make sense to me to have the Ville> associations in core, where we can not assume that the Ville> modes referred to are present. I don't want to _move_ stuff out of 21.4 until it's been beaten on a bit by the testers. There are also some cases where there are shadows in the alist. I think it's probably a good idea to keep any shadowing regexps in the defvar in the appropriate order, at least for now. Note that add-to-list doesn't protect us at all if somebody changes a regexp, eg from "\\.tex$" to "\\.\\(tex\\|sty\\)$". I don't have a better immediate suggestion, though; the situation is not really any better at the moment. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
