Would welcome that.

Presently, while playing around with new code, `devfar'
is not comfortable, as it defends it's value once set.

If values are still experimental, I use `setq'
instead. From what follows a need to correct that
afterwards. With this changing we would get rid of that
need and avoid possible errors.
