Also, the NEWS description of the change eliminating generic characters is not clear to me, probably because I'm not clear on what generic characters are (were). ;-) I wonder if Emacs Lisp users of more than one Emacs release couldn't use a little more explanation of what generic chars were, why they are no longer used, and what takes their place today (what is now used for the purpose they used to serve).
