Oh, dear.

A "koldfront" is a very common phenomenon in Denmark.

It's simply a metereological term, describing where areas of
(relative) cold and (relative) warm air meet - a "koldfront" is the
situation where the cold air is pushing away the warm air.

The opposite then is a "varmfront", where the warm air is pushing the
cold air away.

(I chose the name because I though it would be funny when the
secretary[1] in my megacorp.[2] answered the phone, shouting "KOLD
FRONT!" (in the tone of voice a fanatic might should 'Red Front', at
some point in time)).

Indeed.

On the other hand, it would be very handy for me to be able to do so,
so I guess I chose to read the documentation the way that suited what
I wanted to do.

Given your voice of reason, I'm convinced that the documenter meant
"but the users may change the value in the source." Which is exactly
what I don't want to do.

What's insane about using the shell in emacs? Don't you use the games
and the psychologist in emacs?

Most people I know use emacs. I told them to.

[1] No, I don't have a secretary.
[2] Haven't materialized either. Not working on it.

P.S. Veering off-topic here, better put a lid on it.
