I for one need to have a clearer picture of what such a minor mode would really do, without getting prematurily lost in the details of possible implementations. Once we have a clear goal, let's build a small list of steps, then submit a patch for the first step. (We can then work on a separate branch for the whole feature, and spend months on this branch.) If the change is relying on too many external libraries, it is not very likely to happen. The feature seems to bring interest, but let's refrain from spending our enthusiasm in early and lengthy discussions that nobody can fully follow, especially if you won't have time to hack something before June... So I really don't want to play the cold fish here, but let's move with code and small steps rather than discussions and big goals. -- Bastien
