Subject: [PATCH] Strip text properties on recentf entries
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:56:25 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Text properties are added by common completion frameworks, and serve no
purpose when stored in 'recentf-save-file', waste space, and slow loading
the file.

I did not add this to NEWS as I consider this non-user visible.  Happy to
add this if the maintainers disagree.

I've been running recentf with 'substring-no-properties' for ages and
others should benefit, by default.
