Subject: 23.0.92; enabling uniquify is weird
Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:29:17 +0900

When one wants to turn on a user-level feature, I think it's usual that
one can do either M-x foo-mode, or M-x customize-variable RET foo-blah RET.

Uniquify, though doesn't seem to support either of these methods -- there
is no uniquify-mode, and customize-variable does not know about
`uniquify-buffer-name-style' unless the user manually loads the package.

There's a function `toggle-uniquify-buffer-names', but it seems vaguely
non-standard, and is apparently intended mostly for the menu-bar.

I'm not sure exactly what the right thing to do is, but I think at
least, we should ensure that uniquify-buffer-name-style is somehow
autoloaded so customize-variable knows about it...

I think that makes lots of sense, but probably not for Emacs 24.1.  :-)

There should still be a `uniquify-mode' command to switch it off or on,
though.

I'm moving this to the wishlist.

Version: 24.4

I think this is no longer an issue now that uniquify is preloaded and
enabled by default. It is simply a feature that is always on, and you
can customize it by setting uniquify-buffer-name-style. (The traditional
<1>, <2> can be viewed as just another form of uniquification.)
