modules/postgresql and
modules/ldap both implement types as far as I can see (look for
DEFINE_NODUMP_LISP_OBJECT). Both are normally built as .ells (for
example, in the XEmacs I'm typing this message in they are). They can
be linked into the xemacs binary if you want (but all emodule code can
be linked into the xemacs binary).
Will you forgive me for not knowing about these details in the 21.5 branch?
If you say they don't implement types, then you have a
completely
different definition of "implement type" than I do, and that
definition is what I want to know.
What I meant, and stand by, is that external emodules that implement
types are so rare they're practically nonexistent; particularly those
that do properties.
In this context, what's part of xemacs core doesn't matter, because
any changes to the ABI* will fix those too.
