Re: [patch] priorities range reversed

[Timothy]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for looking into this and figuring out a patch. I’ve just taken a peek at
your patches, and I have two minor comments:
⁃ Why use saved-position instead of save-excursion
⁃ I’m think ascii versions of ② et. al would be preferable

Also, I notice that your patches are just diffs and don’t have a commit message.
Are you planning on writing them later?

All the best,
