That's true, so please CC me at any response.
(at least if it doesn't go too emacs-devel, too).

Thanks to everybody for summarizing the discussion.

May I suggest to revert the code to version 1.8 from GNU Emacs CVS instead?

This version includes my original agent support code and Reiners small
compatibility fix.

I would prefer this version because it:  
- allow using the agent
- but only if enabled explicitly by the user, so the default behavior
  is completely unchanged compared to the old code
- introduces only very few code changes, with no known bugs
- has none of the problems of Daikis code regarding robustness 
  or api changes 

IIRC this version was already discussed and accepted for 5.10.

cheers

Well, *my* brain likes to think it's vastly more powerful than any
finite Turing machine but it hasn't proven that to me...
