    Please inform your niece that the patch has been applied and that the
    lonely "s" need pine away no longer.

    I saw the title and was about to start calling bullshit but then I actually read it and it’s honestly the most adorable and wholesome thing. Her patch is greatly needed, and is critically important. I can’t believe that such a major bug was missed by the dev team.

      somewhere there are such geniuses undiscovered because they were born in the wrong place and in an unfavorable configuration. that hurts us all more than we’ll ever know.

        And you should not forget that Emacs is way harder when you are 4 because your hands are smaller!
