Re: general-purpose.el - a general-forms-resource-utility

    Just today I saw

    (defun region-around-match (&optional n)
      (set-mark (match-beginning n))
      (goto-char (match-end n)))

    (defun region-to-string ()
      (buffer-substring (min (point) (mark)) (max (point) (mark))))

    in mlsupport.el.

These are not useful.  There are other good ways to do these things.
