More seriously, Emacs is buggy because it's a large collection of
hacks, and it is deliberately set up to make quick hacks work pretty

those problems to a great extent, but has a somewhat larger component
of "design before building" philosophy.

go to bed, but I should be able to report on it tomorrow.
