That's interesting, using a library to wrap new Emacs functionality
and implement a common replacement instead of custom work-arounds in
local code.

I believe it's a tall order to add a dependency, but if it eliminates
large chunks of backward compatibility code then maybe that's
something to consider.

Thanks.
