The 'never tested' problem is surely best fixed -- once we figure out what the semantics of such an interaction should be -- with a test in the Emacs testsuite. This sort of subtle rarely-noticed-when-it-breaks lisp-layer thing is what the automated testsuite was *made* for. (but I am teaching my elderly relatives to aspirate calcinated avian embryos again. I should give this up.) -- NULL && (void)
