Excellent idea. Would you like to do that?

You conveniently snipped the end of the sentence:
for an XEmacs developer with CVS access.
Do you really consider this sort of creative editing appropriate
behavior?

Indeed I do! Your previous post was an ad hominem attack, implying
that the irrelevant personal status of "XEmacs developer" imposes some
kind of duty on me that doesn't apply equally well to (eg) you. I
chose to ignore the attack, and focus on the content.
I think it might very well be useful if someone would use cvs annotate
on the relevant library, and look at the ChangeLog, to investigate who
put the call to `copy-syntax-table' in, and ask them if they would
explain why. Would somebody with an interest in fixing the bug in
with-syntax-table like to do that?

revision 1.29
date: 2003/03/02 09:38:40; author: ben; state: Exp; lines: +440 -202
To: xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org
PROBLEMS: Include nt/PROBLEMS and update. Add note about incremental
linking badness.
cmdloop.el, custom.el, dumped-lisp.el, files.el, keydefs.el, keymap.el, lisp-mode.el,
make-docfile.el, replace.el, simple.el, subr.el, view-less.el, wid-edit.el: Lots of
syncing with FSF 21.2.
[...]
With that change the whole macro was copied into subr.el, so I doubt
Ben will be able to say something specific about the call to
`copy-syntax-table'.

Indeed I do!
I have my doubts that your standards of conduct are to the best of
XEmacs.
Your previous post was an ad hominem attack,
Aren't they all? That's probably why I have to mark at least half of
them with "<rant>" tags as you claim. How about supporting either
claim in a believable manner?
implying that the irrelevant personal status of "XEmacs
developer"
imposes some kind of duty on me that doesn't apply equally well to
(eg) you. I chose to ignore the attack, and focus on the content.
You have the CVS readily available, checked out, and in a state
allowing not just C-x v g, but also checking any needed change in. I
have neither time nor disk space nor interest to check out a copy of
XEmacs.
I think it might very well be useful if someone would use cvs
annotate on the relevant library, and look at the ChangeLog, to
investigate who put the call to `copy-syntax-table' in, and ask them
if they would explain why. Would somebody with an interest in
fixing the bug in with-syntax-table like to do that?
It is not like you have not been sent a patch and explanation several
times on this list, by several parties on several occasions.
That is another reason why an XEmacs developer is required here:
people without write access just get ignored, abused or both.
