Well I really wish to see these publications, maybe in algebra. You are

Well that is the way I feel about it, in fact this feature was the last
reason, among others,  to convince me to change back to GNU emacs, which
I left at the time of  18.57.

Ok fair enough I can live with that :-D, I thought the feature required
more hacking. You might receive more complains in the future, though,
