I have a feeling this is becoming the largest thread in the history of
this list, illustrating the principle that the importance of a change is
inversely proportional to the amount of discussion it creates.
To hypocritically add my two cents:
To me the cryptic references to tex(1) have been one of those Plan 9
things you stumble upon when you first play with the OS, like the fact
that copying is called "snarf". It's confusing as hell but eventually you
just accept it as it is.
Hence I'm opposed to removing the references.
If this issue had *any* technical relevance behind it, I might reconsider,
but it does not.
Maybe we should just copy over emacs(1).
