"Food is edible. Technically, that´s all you need to know."
That doesn´t explain anything about food. It´s like saying "1 is (1 + 1
is 2)", which doesn´t explain anything, either.

Maybe the problem is that add-advice is too complicated and convoluted.
I learned about defadvice in like no time, it´s clear and simple ---
while advice-add is anything but.

And ppl might continue to use defadvice because it´s clear and simple.
I don´t feel better with it, though. It has been replaced, and the
replacement seems to lead to better code, so I´d rather use that.
But thinking of it ... When I´m using advices, they go for all the
advised functions. Someone might want to use hi-lock mode the same way
they used to and only want the modified behaviour with particular
buffers.
Considering all that, wouldn´t it be much better to create my own mode?
