Compat.el is a forwards-compatibility library for (GNU) Emacs Lisp,
|
|
versions 24.3 and newer.
|
|
|
|
The intended audience of this library aren't day-to-day users, but
|
|
package developers that wish to make use of newer functionality, not
|
|
provided in older versions of Emacs, without breaking compatibility
|
|
for users bound to specific Emacs releases.
|
|
|
|
Version 24.3 is chosen as the oldest version, because this is the
|
|
newest version on CentOS 7. It is intended to preserve compatibility
|
|
for at least as the Centos 7 reaches EOL, 2024.
|
|
|
|
Note that compat.el provides a few prefixed function, ie. functions
|
|
with a compat- prefix. These are used to provide extended
|
|
functionality for commands that are already defined (sort, assoc,
|
|
...). It might be possible to transform these into advised functions
|
|
later on, so that the modified functionality is accessible without a
|
|
prefix. Feedback on this point is appreciated.
