Looks good to me.  Mostly the same as with gedit, so we got parity there
;-)

The change is on the "master" branch.  It involves changes in the Lisp
code as well as on the C side.

Speaking of the branch, Handa, will you backport this to emacs-25, or
will we have to wait until 25.1 to get it in a regular release? ;-)

Anyway, from my side, it seems we can close this.

@Mark, do you see anything serious still missing?
