Thanks.  I slightly tweaked the doc-string of `posnp' to make its first
line fit.  We can change the behavior of `posnp' for Emacs 25 as soon as
you received your confirmation from the FSF.

Not really.  But the way of writing ChangeLog entries will change in the
near future anyway so there's not much use to tell you the precise
details.  I used your entry to create more appropriate ones.  I pushed
your changes to the Emacs-24 branch as commit

   4c09e3a..3ea1b31  emacs-24 -> emacs-24

They should appear on trunk/master with the next merge.  Please have a
look, my experience with git is still rather poor.  If you think I've
done everything right, please close the bug.

Thanks, martin
