Yes, but if buffer-file-coding-system is changed, the coding: cookie
should be rewritten to reflect that, probably after warning the user
about the presence of the cookie and asking for her permission to modify
it.
This is what I meant by ``pay attention''.
Actually changing the file seems rather drastic.
I think we should start with what Dave Love just sent us,
which is just to ask for extra confirmation.

Re: Enhancements to "minor-mode-map-alist" functionality.

It is a list of alists with the same format and interpretation as
minor-mode-map-alist.
Would a single added alist do the job?
Alternatively, an element may look like (lambda . FORM) where FORM is
evaluated and should return either nil or a cons (SYMBOL . KEYMAP);
That seems kludgy and ugly. I would rather allow replacing VARIABLE
with a boolean expression. Wouldn't that be enough?
I think this is the sort of area where it is better to make smaller
extensions, not larger ones.

Your code was based on an older version did not have some other
changes that are in the sources now. I merged it, and the changes
you made seem to be these.
Does anyone see a problem with these changes?
Handa, do they look correct to you?

Reported bad code in Emacs configure file

Since this code is generated by autoconf, does someone see a way to solve this problem? Is this an autoconf bug? Should it be generating doublequotes in such tests?

That code comes from configure.in: dnl Check for speed_t typedef. AC_CACHE_CHECK(for speed_t, emacs_cv_speed_t, AC_TRY_COMPILE([#include <termios.h>], [speed_t x = 1;], emacs_cv_speed_t=yes, emacs_cv_speed_t=no)) if test $emacs_cv_speed_t = yes; then AC_DEFINE(HAVE_SPEED_T, 1, [Define to 1 if `speed_t' is declared by <termios.h>.]) fi Since that variable is defined either to no or to yes just above (in the absence of a cached value), I don't see a need for double quotes, unless he's doing something strange: -- he is using a corrupted cache file, or -- he has set emacs_cv_speed_t to the empty string in his environment ... > *** configure.~1~ Fri Mar 15 06:46:09 2002 > --- configure Tue Apr 30 13:26:28 2002 > *************** > *** 3039,3045 **** > fi > > echo "$ac_t""$emacs_cv_speed_t" 1>&6 > ! if test $emacs_cv_speed_t = yes; then > cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF > #define HAVE_SPEED_T 1 > EOF > --- 3039,3045 ----(Continue reading)

It's a start. If Emacs detects text properties in fundamental mode recommending to switch to enriched mode (M-x enriched-mode RET) could help; plus a link to the manual. More isn't needed make the user pay attention. > Would you like to help work on it? Personally I'm more interested in other areas (psgml and DocBook resp.
