You mean you actually took the time to learn enough Emacs Lisp to do this?
I'm stunned and amazed. I'm puzzled, though -- you know a variant of Lisp,
yet find the HP-48's UserRPL programming language goofy (yet it borrowed a
_lot_ from Lisp)? Or is this hypothetical -- _if_ you wanted to radically
change things around with Emacs, it's possible but you don't necessarily
know how to do it yourself?

Don't know -- never took the time to learn them. They're strange and goofy
and different and all that other yucky stuff... ;-)
