Re: save-excursion and the mark

[Oleh Krehel]

Hi Stefan,

I finally got around to fixing the lispy tests for emacs-snapshot.

Here's a reference to the first passing build:
https://travis-ci.org/abo-abo/lispy/builds/59129245

And here's the commit that fixed the stuff:
https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy/commit/bf5c12276a414a9cc6a131c86b5c9a33af3dca53

It was also tricky to write code in a way that the tests pass both on 25
and 24.5.

One thing that I really didn't like is that I had to replace

    (region-active-p)

with 

    (and mark-active (not deactivate-mark))

because (region-active-p) started behaving differently in temp buffers
and non-temp buffers. Before, the behavior was the same.

Just my small note to add to the list of "casualties".
