I would be tempted to do more: when there are functions like replace-match which are incompatibly defined, I would want three functions: fsf-compat-replace-match xemacs-compat-replace-match replace-match (an alias for xemacs-compat-replace-match) This way people who switch between GNU Emacs and XEmacs can explicitly choose which version of the function they want to use, at least in code for XEmacs. It also suggests names for GNU Emacs developers to use, if they decide to add XEmacs-compatible versions of things. -- John H.
