That's the best solution, but IIRC Gnus currently aims at supporting
Emacs 21, 22, and 23, as well as multiple XEmacsen---spanning about
four different redisplay mechanisms. Expect difficulties in getting
it right. :-(
Hmm? Historically, in both XEmacs and GNU Emacs display tables were vectors.
GNU moved to a fucked non-vector implementation that also gives t to
#'sequencep, and I want to move to a reasonably clean implementation that
uses char tables. Mike’s query should have cleared this up--it hadn’t
occurred to me previously that GNU would want people to pay attention to
(length (make-display-table)) in a non-Mule world, but that’s about as crazy
as things can get, I think.
