We've now had a one week discussion period, so I've made some decisions.
1) Nobody wanted to keep the global `M-o' binding (facemenu), so I've
removed that.
2) There was no clamouring to keep a global binding for `center-line'
and `center-paragraph', so those that find those commands extremely
useful will have to bind it themselves.
3) 99.7% of the discussion involved whether `font-lock-fontify-block'
was useful or not. Apparently most people had never heard of it, but
when they did hear of it, several said (I'm paraphrasing) "that sounds
quite useful indeed, but it's a bit odd" (i.e., the "block" it fontifies
doesn't seem ideal). Gregory suggested a variation on it, and that
seems to work even better, so I've included it and bound it to
`C-x x f'. (But those that really want `font-lock-fontify-block' will
have to bind it themselves.)
I've now pushed these changes. (And we no longer need to preload
facemenu, I guess, so I'll try to remove that, but it's not totally
trivial.)
This concludes our first experimental test on the devel branch. The
amount of feedback wasn't overwhelming, but we did get some -- and I
guess the `M-o' command wasn't very popular, so I'm not really that
surprised.
So I think it was a moderately successful experiment, and we should use
this way of trying out user interface changes more. The time periods
seem OK to me -- one month for the experiment, and then one additional
week for discussion at the end (so I guess it's really more like five
weeks).
