The point is that you can't be sure, and the Elisp compiler isn't any help in spotting the migration problem. Someone will actually have to *read* the code to convert it. Note that I'm not (not at all!) arguing against the change, I'm just trying to clarify that it has a cost. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
