Re: Unexpected hiding of identical images

[Richard M. Stallman]

    No, what I'm saying is that in this particular case, XEmacs's duplicable
    extents make sense, whereas when doing partial kills&yanks they indeed don't
    make nearly as much sense as text properties.  You can't win both ways.

Yes, that is true.  Nobody has found a method that wins both ways.

I think that consistent behavior from partial kills&yanks is
essential, and that we cannot do without it.
