Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Enhancement for brace pairing

[Mosè Giordano]

Hi Ikumi and Tassilo,

I cannot understand why in `TeX-arg-insert-braces' we need to insert a
newline and then to delete it.  Has someone a clue about the
rationale?  The following patch avoids all this (if it's really
unnecessary):
