Agreed,
I think I added that function for compatibility with XEmacs.
Could someone check if that is true?
If the feature is painful to implement, and not really desirable in
itself, I guess compatibility is not enough reason to do the work to
implement.
Anyway, please tell me if you know of a good use for this function.
If I don't hear of one, I will mark it obsolete.
