This would be a tremendous amount of work, for a mere cleanup:
it would not make Emacs any better to use, for anyone.
It would not greatly help future development either.
I urge people to think instead about implementing useful features,
such as handling more kinds of formatted text, or various features
for a more powerful IDE (many of these are lacking).
