I have been part in threads that discuss backward-compatibility. As it
looks, there is the feeling that this ML is too(?) much concerned about
backward-compatibility -- even in favour over new features or cleaner
implementation (both of which the proposed emphasis change would be an
example of, IIUC).
In a way, I am happy that backward-compatibility is now a major
concern. But on the other hand, it is not my intention to block
enhancements.
For the case at hand, I would happily type double letter emphasis, if
that helps to get a clean implementation. If it even allows more
features, that would be a benefit.
My point of writing is this: If a change like this was going to happen,
it would be very nice if a function was provided to change from the old
style to the new style. This was (at least) once the case for a major
backward incompatible change in babel and even if it did not work
flawlessly it was a big help.
I guess it would be easy for the lisp-guru who removes the regexp to
turn it into such a function. But it would take quite some time for me
to dig that regexp somewhen later and produce a working translation
function from it...
Anyway, as it looks this is probably hypothetical for this particular
change.
Regards,
Andreas
