2) Worse, tpu-extras is evil -- it redefines things like newline
That is ugly, the same way advice is ugly, but the change to the
behavior of `newline' is harmless enough.
3) And even worse, tpu-current-line (used by the redefined newline)
raises errors at times when called from display-warning.
How does it happen that tpu-current-line is not loaded?
tpu-extras starts with (require 'tpu-edt).
It looks like the redefinition of `newline' is done as part
of a scheme to implement scroll margins. Emacs nowadays
has scroll margins as a built-in feature. So I think
all that code could be replaced by a few variable aliases.
Would someone like to do that, and ack?
