I'm not trying to be argumentative here, I hope it's clear I'm just
trying to help avoid a regression in Emacs 30.

Now, if Thierry would be kind enough to share those use cases, that
might allow for a more productive discussion.

Of course, I don't assume that, I apologize if that was the impression
that came across.  Note that my very next sentence was:

  If someone would spell out these advantages, I could look into it when
  I have the time.

Yes, that'd be great.  But currently on the master branch the previous
behavior is nowhere to be found.  What I (and others, I think) ask for
is restoring the previous behavior, in full, at least optionally.  If my
patch isn't good enough, and there's another solution at hand, that's
absolutely fine.


Thanks,

Eshel
