Re: propose adding Icicles to Emacs

[Richard Stallman]

    What do you mean by "there"? If you mean on `minibuffer-setup-hook', then
    please reread the above.

It says that there are things you don't see how to do,
and that they are in a function `icicle-minibuffer-setup'.
But it doesn't say what they are.

To study the code to figure that out could take an hour,
and I have so much work I can't do it that way.
I need someone to explain to me.

    Initializations etc.
    that are appropriate for only one function (e.g. `completing-read') cannot
    be put on a hook that is run when every function activates the minibuffer.

Maybe that is so.  Therefore I need to know what features these things
are trying to implement, and in general terms how you've implemented
those features; they I can look for other ways to do it.
