Isn't it a good time to carry out this TODO in preview.el.in? ;-)

And I'd like to comment on two minor aspects.
1. The function `cdddr' used above isn't yet available for emacs 25.1,
so it should be replaced with `cl-cdddr'. I noticed this thanks to a
byte compile log which Michael Braun sent me off list. Thank you,
Michael! (And this means that preview-latex didn't work at all for
emacs 25.1 for this 1.5 years!)
2. Though bug#20171[1] is still open, I hope it has already been
resolved as well with this bug#45596. If so, let's close it, too.
Best,
Ikumi Keita
