Aidan Kehoe writes: Would somebody please remind me why we need to support this feature, given that it requires strewing unlovely stuff (some of which even the author needs to tag with "Ugh") throughout not only the core code but the packages too, expose very tricky static functions to the global scope, changes the semantics of the trickiest function in the whole Lisp engine (throw was a function, now it's a special form), adds instructions to the inner loop of the bytecode interpreter, and complexifies the implementation of the byte code interpreter? This seems to be a very large cost for something that is pretty much a YAGNI in Emacs. Existing uses are served quite well by the cl.el implementation (especially since a large number of them are just plain broken but apparently work anyway). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
