All of these cases are handled by Luc's set-activate.
However, they are still bugs because we have decided they are bugs.
Providing 'set-activate' is a convenient workaround for the bugs,
which may mean the bugs will take longer to get fixed.
I believe the latter is the reason why Richard (and others) are not
terribly enthusiastic about set-activate, even in renamed form.
(Assuming I understood correctly.)
I personally believe the advantages of 'set-activate' outweigh the
disadvantages though.
Maybe these advantages can be achieved in other ways. I made a
proposal to suggest that the function used by :set should normally not
only be named, but actually use the same symbol as the variable. In
other words, normally the :set function would be either set-default,
funcall or a slight variation on funcall for variables of boolean
type, which would behave exactly like minor modes. After sending that
message, I saw that you were not on the CC list, but I assume that you
read emacs-devel.
Sincerely,
Luc.
