Sorry for the top-post, but, after lots of thought about this, I've come
to the conclusion that Georg is right, and we shouldn't go the way I was
suggesting. There's then a different design problem that arises, but
I'll post a note about that later. That said:
IMHO the text classes are pretty much the same thing: A buffer does store an
index into the global text class list, but it does not have a copy that can
be changed.
That's actually not true any more. Modules required a more flexible
system. I'm sure we'll find bugs as 1.6.0 approaches, but so far it
seems to work OK.
