I don't see that I succeeded soliciting the ping, though not for lack
of trying.

If I understood Juanma correctly (actually, rather unlikely), he had a
particular application where toggling overwrite-mode in read-only
buffers was causing him problems.
I have no clue what problems, and I have been completely unable to
coerce him into producing any argument that would make me get his
point. While he accuses me that I wanted to convince him of being
mistaken or whatever, in fact I was rather begging to be convinced, to
no avail. I have seen _nothing_ from him that I would have considered
a plausible basis for his wish. Plausible in that it would explain to
me why _he_ considers his proposal a good idea, never mind whether _I_
would come to different conclusions from the same basis.
But I completely fail to see what could make him (never mind myself)
consider his proposal a worthwhile idea. It's not just that I have a
different opinion: I don't _understand_ his position at all. It is
completely void of any purpose I can discern. I am just _baffled_.
Whatever.
