And in any case this thread, including its proper topic, is not about a bug.

It is a wishlist topic about a possibile enhancement: an enhancement request.
I'm surprised it wasn't simply summarily sent to the wishlist.

Well meant, Alan, but misguided.  The real question is this: Do we want to
discuss this?

If no, let's just send the thread to the wishlist graveyard.  There are plenty
of good suggestions there to keep it company. ;-)

If yes, then the proper list for the discussion (this is _design_, not bug
fixing) is emacs-devel <at> gnu.org.
