False assumption: that Emacs libraries contain good practices only. I
know you dislike Emacs.SE, but there was a question there about good
Elisp code to read (to learn Elisp), and someone warned about reading
Emacs code (especially older libraries). Recently, I grepped the Emacs
Lisp sources for occurences of `mapcar', and there is *no* consistency
in e.g. using ' versus #', or quoted lambdas (which I hear are a no-no
unless in special circumstances, like macros).

BTW: what's wrong with Yasnippet?
