Please document `compose-region'.  

Specifically some examples that illustrate the use of
`reference-point-alist'

FWIW, created a cross link to 13189 <at> debbugs.gnu.org.

Has that bug been resolved with the latest changes to perl-mode and
prog-mode-prettify?

What? Bug 13189 is "please document compose-region (more)".

Simply cc-ing it in the middle of an unrelated discussion where someone
happened to say "I can't understand compose-region" isn't helpful.

I got fooled by the subject.  Sorry.

I had CCed machines not people (I took care to remove names.)

What cropped in the middle of the discussion was relevant to the bug.

It was Eli's reference to tv-util.el that I CCed (not Ted's
question). If someone were to look at closing that bug, he can readily
borrow Kenichi's followup examples.

HTH.

So you send a mail to 13189 <at> debbugs only that says "on emacs-devel,
someone said that the examples in tv-util.el may be helpful". Instead of
cc'ing an ongoing emacs-devel discussion with the subject "using glyphs
by default in perl-mode".
