Kinsoku

I'm already on this one; fill/kinsoku is a bloody mess and
substantially variant from GNU Emacs 20.7 for no particular reason (it
doesn't depend on GNU-specific interfaces or the Mule variant).
It seems their code is well maintained.
I'm definitely interested in working with you when you have time.
I
can provide patches against CVS current and discussion on request, but
so far all I've done is some reorganization, the functionality is the
same (read "still broken"). This may be moot if we do a synch to FSF
20.7.
I really appreciate anything that increases readability of
the code. But if you are working on it, I guess there're
few things I can improve.
I think a synch to Emacs 20.7, possibly with some additional
features,
_is_ the right way to go here. The main changes I've noticed so far
over there are (1) a variable that _really_ disables kinsoku (if I
read the code correctly) and (2) instead of hard-coding searches and
using looking-at, kinsoku is implemented via text properties.
Agreed except that I don't think I understand (2). What
kind of use of text property do you have in mind?
Perhaps another change is (3) fix two-column hack of
Japanese characters. However, I haven't given any thought
to this issue.
