This is not true for me. Of the two Ebola warnings I remember
seeing in the last 6 months, the one in AUC-TeX is due to use of
`previous-char' instead of `char-before' (a distant cousin of
Ebola),
You mean `char-before', right? BTW, are you aware that this one is
totally bogus? Code that compares (eq (char-before) 0) will work just
fine for any character *because* of character/integer distinction.
As Kyle put it, ebola warnings were a part of the "transition phase",
to ensure that hundreds of such bugs get fixed in time. The warnings
no longer serve a useful purpose to the vast majority of developers,
and they should be off by default now, even in debugging builds.
