Agreed. This is busy work. If emacs were a pay for commercial product then this wouldn't be considered because emacs is still proving itself economically viable.
Considering how intricately it is integrated into a lot of people's lives this is silly.
It's fine sitting on a an academic pedestal but some of us have to live in the real world.
Also I'm not sure how the maintainer failed to address your suggestion as it seems the most logical... which makes me worry this is an academic exercise.
Besides the point... almost nothing will be achieved by making elsip faster. I sometimes write macros to work on GBs of files and yes, it isn't fast... but if i cared about speed i'd be shelling out to cli tools to do the work anyway.
Makes. No. Sense.
Fork it if you must and leave the rest of us alone.
