I'm not sure that this is my code. But I do know that most of the emacs
lisp code I've written is very non-idiomatic and without good
justification.

Please don't look at my elisp code and assume it is sane at all. I'm
looking forward to the day where "git blame -- emacs/*.el" doesn't show
my name at all...

Said another way, please feel free to post improvements for any strange
elisp you see, (C code too, of course).
