I'd be happy to make some time to describe the XEmacs scheme and
experience if somebody wants.  However, XEmacs faces language and code
organization constraints that Python does not, and Fredrik's
suggestion looks like a substantial improvement over the system XEmacs
has in place.

Even with its defects, it's been a great success for us.
