Given that we already have 2 such facilities, I personally don't mind
to have a third, which perhaps could replace the other two in the
future.  (Although, to tell the truth, I'd be happier to have just one
package for this.)  But Lars is objected to adding this, AFAIU, so if
we cannot convince him, this should go to ELPA, I think.

I'm also interested in the opinions of others.

Thanks.
