Probably not. ISTR needing to use '(repeat cons) or something like
that recently.
How does an alist widget work? Most of the time we want something
pretty specific (eg, '(repeat (cons string symbol)) for
auto-mode-alist -- I think that works). Is that supported?
The Emacs code says:
(alist:tag "Regexp/function association list"
:key-type regexp
:value-type function)
and it seems like a useful widget, altough I guess it can be emulated by
(repeat (cons string symbol)). Anyway, IMHO, the best thing would be if
XEmacs custom.el had this capability as well, browse-url.el might not be
the only example even if it was the first one discovered.
