Re: Emacs-CVS and abbrevs

[Richard Stallman]

    So I suggest that we try and keep track of where the abbrev change occurred.
    For example, a behavior like:

            (setq abbrevs-changed
                  (if (and load-file-name
                           ;; this might be a package that should use 
`system-flag'.
                           (or (null abbrevs-changed)
                               (equal abbrevs-changed  load-file-name)))
                      load-file-name
                    t))

    would allow us to give a better message to the user.  At least in my case
    it would have pointed the finger straight at the root cause of the problem.
    What do you think ?

That is a good idea.
