(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I think it's an interesting idea, but it's pretty high level, I don't
think there's anything actionable here as a bug report, so I'm closing
it.  (This sort of this is better suited for discussion on emacs-devel.)
