Rewriting all the constructor calls in CEDET would take me
ages. Besides, `make-instance' is too verbose for my taste.

I would still have to rewrite the constructor calls, right?

Remember that I did merges maybe every few months. I had a ton of
entries for the same day as result, containing things like

 (foo): Change 'a' to 'c'.

 (foo): Revert previous change.

 (foo): Change 'a' to 'b'.

I was under the impression that stuff like this had to be cleared up.

Sorry, I didn't know that all this could be handled automatically. I was
under the impression that I'd still have to edit the generated
logs. I'll be quiet, then. :-)
