Although the code part of that branch looks good, the documentation patch still 
has significant unaddressed problems, first mentioned here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg00775.html

with followup discussion ongoing as of today. Your latest proposal continues to 
recommend an awkward text-quoting-style programming technique used nowhere in 
Emacs, while refusing to mention the technique that is actually used. (Also, 
it's too wordy.) This needs to be fixed, and I trust that the ongoing discussion 
will help do that.
