Hi Tadashi Watanabe,

I noticed that you have recently updated your e-mail address in the
bgex.el file on https://github.com/wachikun/emacs_bgex

We have discussed if it would be possible to integrate the "bgex" patch
into Emacs itself.  We think the feature is useful.  Would you be
interested in that?

See the previous discussion below, or here:

    https://debbugs.gnu.org/20647

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
