Re: Emacs setup assistants

[Richard Stallman]

    Would the @ifassistant ... @end ifassistant tags I proposed work?  It
    seems like they would create the least amount of trouble for existing
    Texinfo documents and renderers, since they can just ignore those
    tags.

They would probably give error messages for those two tags,
and they would process (rather than ignore) the text between them.

The only way this can be feasible without waiting years is if it
*completely avoids* any new Texinfo directives.
