Hi

I tend to agree with the fact that Lisp should be specially supported in
all the emacs functionalities.

But with this minimal support at least there will be something "good
enough" for C and all the derived from cc-mode (Java, C++, Ruby, Perl,
Lua) plus Python, Latex, Makefiles, Bash, Tcl, SQL, Assembly, Rust. So,
many users will be benefited... I think it is still a good deal right?.
