I suppose just multiline editing is the main thing
that needs love - i.e., independent of what the
input might be.
As for multiline Lisp expression editing (as opposed
to better support for multiline input in general), I
guess what you mean is support for indentation and
operations on sexps, e.g. motion. And you mentioned
font-locking. Is there something more than that?
___
But as for `eval-expression' enhancements, I repeat
that IMO the main need for improvement is wrt the
output. I think it's far more common to deal with a
complex output value than it is to input a complex
sexp for evaluation.
You'll no doubt point out that if we had better
input support users would use `M-:' to evaluate
more complex sexps. ;-)
Still, I think it'll remain the case that complex
sexps are eval'd more often in other ways (e.g.
`C-x C-e'), and that complex sexps will continue to
be more common on output than on input.
___
Yes, my comments here are no doubt a bit of a
distraction from the request - sorry. But we could
have better treatment of the output immediately.
And we could bind `M-:' to `pp-eval-expression' by
default, now.
