....By the bye, I'm not sure if your reply laid to rest my "fear" that one
can produce an almost-correct common lisp source file which the zetalisp
editor can't even bring in to a buffer (previous note used "load") because
it dies trying to READ some little part of it that happens to be total
garbage. What's the scoop?
We provide and document a command that reads a file into the editor without
looking at its attributes. You are then editing the file in Fundamental Mode,
and the editor makes no attempt to do anything language-specific.
