I agree with both these viewpoints -- One second of x is not the same at y.
But not repeatedly restarting emacs is not an option.
The problem is that emacs invites tinkering with my elisp settings.
And elisp is such an imperative language that I habitually get silly things
wrong. eg
I am hacking an elisp function called foo
For some reason I change its name to bar
I change (what I think are) all refs to foo to bar.
It (seems to) run
The next time I start emacs it does not run because I find that I had not
renamed all foo-references to bar.
So the only remedy (I know) is that first check if the elisp works and if it
seems to then check again after restarting emacs.
And that means that elisp-hacking means frequent restarts of emacs.
