Sorry, I'm confused by the last message in the discussion of the
patch.  This started by introducing a new defcustom that controls the
preview, but ended with a patch adding no defcustom and instead
deleting 3 lines?  What did I miss (specifically between
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-07/msg00845.html,
which approves the original patch, and
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-07/msg00911.html,
which presents a totally different one)?

And why is it needed in emacs-25?  Is there some urgent or
particularly nasty problem involved that we'd like to fix ASAP?

Thanks.
