Perhaps some completion functions can take a lot of time, so we message preemptively? We do a lot of the "just in case" messaging in Emacs, unfortunately. (There's a wishlist bug report in the bug tracker to add something like (with-delayed-message (0.5 "This sure is taking long...") (here-is-some-code)) that would only do the message if the body of the form takes longer than the timeout.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
