Subject: bug#20090: improperly closed

Bug report 20090 was perfunctorily closed today:

1] without the person who performed the action consulting with the bug
reporter;

2] without any discussion for over 2.5 years;

3] with a reason given that demonstrates that the person who performed
the action didn't give the action much of any thought;

In this particular case, the person who closed the bug apparently looked
at the sentence fragment 'does not work for positions within an info node (eg.
 line 85 of node x)', and confused the term `eg' with the term 'ie'.

At this point, emacs is uniquely inferior to all major 'word processors'
in that it does not support the feature described in the bug, ie. the
ability to link to a specific position within a document.

Pretty basic, no?
