We really need to get 22.1 out the door, because fundamental changes
like that should only be done once Emacs 23.1 has been released (we
really need to get emacs-unicode-2 and possibly the multi-tty branch
as well as current package updates out before getting caught in
another multi-year delay cycle because of new features).
