Yes, my reply was only wrt the lines I quoted - nothing about the bug itself.

Mine was an OT comment on the notion that Lispers generally prefer electric
pairing (I doubt it).  And it's only a guess on my part wrt the majority.  And
it really doesn't matter whether something is majority or minority.

I just wanted to respond to the assumption that if you are an Emacs Lisper then
"you want to add them in pairs, always."  That's too strong, IMO.

Yes.

A preference setting would be good, IMO.  Emacs is (should be), above _all_
else, easily user-extensible and customizable.  By all means, make it easy to
choose, and make users aware of the easy-to-make choices.
