A quick note on this.
Here are the reasons why we *want* to rewrite some functions using
org-element:
- *bug fixing*: the rewrite fixes bugs.
- *speed*: the rewrite provides a faster implementation;
- *predictability*: the rewrite provides a more predictable
implementation;
- *completeness*: the rewrite covers more use-cases than the
previous /ad hoc/ implementation.
Now here are the reasons why we *don't want* to use org-element:
- *high ceiling*: if the rewrite is less readable for potential
developers.
- *complexity*: if the rewritten version is more complex.
- *rigidity*: if the rewritten version adds unwanted constraints.
Of course, the decision is always a trade-off.
I'm particularily sensitive to the "high ceiling" point above: we
don't want all contributors to learn about Org elements before they
can submit a patch -- of course, many will do, and we can encourage
them to do so, but let's not close too many doors.
IOW, even though org-element.el is great (and I hope my comments above
will not be taken as criticism), "rewriting using org-element" is not
a goal /per se/, just one great possibility to use when needed.
