the user can still always follow the older method :). This will just
provide an additional way.

[a] Interactively: i think i do, i would even prefer the shorter name
for the command that i suggested, "insert-system-info" and i even want
to locally bind it to a key. Often, i am writing an email to, say,
emacs-devel or gnu.emacs.help (which was not started via
report-emacs-bug), with, say, X problems etc., and then decide that it
would be relevant to include system-info..
[b] From a program: none (yet) that i can think of.
I think it will be nice to provide the user a way to easily insert
system-info, and help towards making "problem-reports" more
descriptive... Just as today peole ask users to post backtrace, they
might also start asking users with X problems etc. to M-x
insert-system-info :).
Anyways, no big deal, there's always the older method :)
