i'm going to fix specifiers so you can do the equivalent of
"restart-specifier-instance". this way, you just replace the code
that gets the display table with one that gets *all* display tables
in the specifier that apply, and you just have a few more to iterate
over. much simpler and faster than calling
specifier-matching-instance or whatever each time.
You're right.
I actually tried to implement it slow method, and I had a prototype
that even worked, but was so abysmally slow that each redisplay took
several seconds. That's when I concluded the
specifier-matching-instance per character was not the right approach.
