Emacs users can spelunk also. A narrow idea of
users (in this case Emacs users) is the bane of
free software.
Even siphoning off some idea of "end-users" is
limiting. Anyone using Emacs in any way is an
"end-user", so term has no useful meaning. An
Emacs "end-user" can be an expert user and
developer, and can be an active contributor to
Emacs development. Or not.
