APEL is to be avoided if possible. It makes debugging hard because
it
redefines many functions without leaving any trace in the docstring.
I don't defend APEL and I partly agree with you. In fact, I'm
taking care not to use APEL to make ELisp programs personally.
However, on the other hand, people appreciate that using APEL is
useful to make programs work in various version of Emacsen. In
principle, APEL does never redefine existing functions having no
problems, but it fixes bugs in old function definitions,
emulates functions which aren't available in old Emacsen, ...
Please note, I'm not talking about the APEL XEmacs package.
FLIM is extensively depending on APEL, so a person wanting to
use FLIM needs APEL willy-nilly.
For one function, it's best to add the function.
You may be right. If there's only that problem, it should be
solved by putting the following definition in somewhere:
(defun string-to-char-list (str)
(mapcar #'identity str))
