Re: Patch: Syntax and Hard Newlines

[Richard Stallman]

    Now the thing that should be considered is whether
    soft newlines should be regarded the same as blank
    characters.

I think so.  After all, they are converted to and from spaces.

    Or in the Lisp level, perhaps we can make adding a
    `syntax-table' text property default when inserting soft
    newlines.

Since that is the method we are using, why not?
