Re: unexpected behaviour of `with-output-to-string'

jpw> I'm not sure why the XEmacs version dorks about doing: Note the "mods from Stig". Stig Hackvan nee Jonathan Stigelman is an occasionally brilliant, more usually flaky, XEmacs hacker. He hasn't done much in years. Anything flagged with a comment from Stig should be considered warily. It's often worthwhile to figure out why he dorks around, but it's no surprise if you never do figure it out. :-) jpw> Also, the GNU version will only return what was printed to jpw> `standard-output'; BODY can still modify the current buffer, jpw> which seems neat. Leaking temp buffers sucks. I won't promise to put this in 21.4, but if the compatibility package doesn't get off the ground quickly, I'll give a patch synching to GNU very strong consideration. Please test in 21.5 first. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
