Thank you, it seems promising and worked well for my brief testing.

Thanks. Have you signed FSF copyright assignment form for AUCTeX (or
Emacs) before? If not, please follow the instruction here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future

I'll wait for your update and install it when you tell us the assignment
is complete.
