Include ws-butler in Emacs #13

Open oscarfv opened 9 years ago

oscarfv commented 9 years ago

Somebody submitted a similar feature to emacs-devel and I mentioned your package. The Emacs maintainer said that he would be happy to incorporate a feature like this.

This is the thread in emacs-devel:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/180282

The code on the initial message is based on post-commit-hook, something that you tried and discarded. It is not wrapped in a minor mode either, so it is hardly acceptable for Emacs in that state.

Please consider submitting ws-butler to Emacs.

Would you be willing to revisit this?

In http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-12/msg01846.html you indicated that the major issue was the incompatibility with highlight-changes-mode, but IIRC you subsequently eliminated that dependency, and implemented equivalent behaviour which was specific to this mode.

That being the case, do you see any problems with ws-butler potentially being included in Emacs?
