Re: flyspell + longlines: hang/wait

[Richard M. Stallman]

Regarding Python code: what you want makes sense, and could be
a useful feature.  But it is a completely different feature
from the one longlines mode is trying to implement.

Regarding LaTeX, I find it incomprehensible that you want to record
each paragraph as a single long line.  I can't argue with your tastes,
but I will certainly not make that the recommended way to edit LaTeX
code in Emacs.  Forget it!

    What I am suggesting is that the original representation in the file  
    is respected. No conversion.

That is an interesting idea, and I can see what it would mean in the
cases you want to use (paragraph = one long line).]  I don't see what
this would mean, concretely, in the case where you edit a file
composed of filled paragraphs.  Editing should result once again in
filled paragraphs.  This means that the number of lines in the
paragraph has to change as you edit it.  And what you save it, the
file should contain newlines where you see newlines on the screen.

    I am aware of the unwanted linebreaks introduced when you use visual  
    wrapping together with a hard wrapped text file. Other editors do  
    that, too, and it's not bad. It just means that one shouldn't mix the  
    two editing modes.

"Mixing modes" is a side issue.  I'm talking about using just one mode,
the mode with no hard newlines inside a paragraph.  That must not be
one long line in the file.
