Re: Why using (push-mark) ?

I've never learned how to use it, and I suspect I never

the way region is implemented in FSFmacs (and in XEmacs with
zmacs-regions == nil), not a feature.
I believe that this aptly demonstrates my point about what teh
Benny interface is doing.
As I said, we're plain lucky that our users never notice this
gorgeous
feature.
ummm, _I'm_ one of your users. Do I have to unsubscribe to
xemacs-beta and feign ignorance to have a voice that matters?
Why do the "loyal customers" have to battle just to keep the tool
we love, just so you can attract new customers?
transient-mark-mode/zmacs-regions broke all kinds of stuff, all
so that some folks could see the region. A visible region could
have been implemented without the crock that we have today. Now
that we have the crock you're going to make it worse by changing
the marking rules under zmacs-regions.
