[bug#44249] [PATCH] gnu: emacs: Make strip-double-wrap more robust

[Morgan Smith]

Hi Ludo,

I think that's an elegant and wonderful idea. Assuming the first patch
in this thread still applies, I vote we just apply that one.

There has been some discussion in this thread on if the regex should
actually look for numbers or not (notably Nicolas and you). I could go
either way. I'm pretty sure the regex that's already there that matches
2 or more period separated numbers will always hold true, but feel free
to loosen up the regex a little if you feel otherwise.

Thanks,

Morgan
