Hey, just calm down a bit and take a few long deep breaths! You've
snipped my argument and left only the supporting discussion. I'm NOT
arguing that anybody should have this "barely tolerable behaviour"
thrust upon him; the user should be able to set his system up as he
wishes. I'm merely saying that in a few years time the point will be
moot. And that for Emacs 23, we will be able to set the default value
of open-paren-...-start to nil, just as in Emacs 22 font-locking is
enabled by default.
Hopefully Emacs will always be such that wierdos who, for whatever
reason, want to run with font-lock disabled, or on bare TTYs, or on
early 1990s machines can do so comfortably. ;-)
