Now youʼre just trying to get me to start rummaging through the garage
for a pitchfork and some torches. There are experienced emacs users
who manage to shoot themselves in the foot with such a setup, any
sample init files should just be emacs lisp forms, with
comments. Thatʼs the only setup thatʼs almost guaranteed to work out
of the box.
