Re: Future package: proposed content

Norbert Koch <viteno(a)xemacs.org&gt; wrote: We have to decide what kind of content the back-to-the-future package will contain, and how it is structured. Stephen suggested that it contain forms that cause "you aren't recent enough" errors if older XEmacsen try to use newer functionality. That's great, but I think we should provide that newer functionality when possible. That's the upshot of the request that started this thread. I propose that the future package contain one future-x.el file for each x.el file containing a future function. For two of the functions I am interested in, that would mean a future-subr.el file. We should also have a core.el or future-core.el file for changes in core. That would take care of the third function I'm concerned with. What do you think? -- Jerry James http://www.ittc.ku.edu/~james/
