Here's my trial to do so.

Does this correspond to what you're asking for?

However, running it did not succeed. I must do something wrong, or NOT do
something good...

The worse is that I don't get a backtrace, even after:

- setting debug-on-error to t, or
- M-x'ing toggle-debug-on-error.

Weird, but not the first time -- seems related to Emacs 24.2 or so (+ my
config?).

Best regards,
