"I should have known better than to think I could be right and you
wrong about some Emacs code I've just started looking at. Sorry about

"No problem. It's one of the many joys of working on a code base
that's up to almost 40 years old: First you have to figure out what
the (no doubt smart) programmer meant to achieve with the code, and
then try to figure out whether it ever even did that, and then whether
it's still working the same way, and then whether it's still relevant
due to changes elsewhere, and then finally whether it can be improved
without breaking odd edge cases on obscure systems you don't have
access to. 🙃"
