Sure, but the GNU APIs, with their documentation and clarity, didn’t get
that way _ex nihilo._ I’m sure someone besides the original developer tried
to use them, failed, found out why, and fixed the problem.

I never imagined any such thing. The waning popularity of XEmacs among
developers is a result of the waning popularity of XEmacs among users, whose
roots are that Ben Wing hasn’t been coding like a dervish for most of a
decade, and that Stephen’s high quality standards for letting code in means
people who learn about the codebase from scratching an itch, are discouraged
when the code to do that isn’t integrated.
Anyway, back to doing something useful.
