It's OK.  I added you to the accept filter.

Sorry about the dependencies.  Yes, it is in the buffer modification
protocol.

N'est-ce pas?

I removed the Texinfo mode, because it was a bit too trivial.  The

that there is an incorrect item at a particular place.  The display
module will then use whatever method it wants to display such errors.
