At minimum we *need* to document what our position on this is. We

and `kill-buffer-hook', but I think there ought to be object-oriented
rather than module-oriented ways to guarantee timely finalization.
You're right. I withdraw my ill-conceived statement that we only need
to flush all streams on exit.
Please fork it. We're all adults, and know how to use killfiles.
If
the traffic warrants it, I'll be happy to reactivate xemacs-design. I
don't want this private. Be aware that there *may* be *some* money
available for such work. Google SoC is one obvious avenue for those
with social or professional connections to university CS programs, and
there are also some private sector possibilities for specific features.
It's forked. And I'm not looking for money, although I won't chase it
away if it knocks on my door.
