      The emacs server code in server.el in on the 6.3A packs (18.54.3 on a
      testers RT, with the testers packs) has been modified, and the
      functionality of the temp-file-regexp variable and the temp-file-p
      function has been removed.

   Oops!  The temp-file-regexp is a local hack, apparently.  I have
   merged its functionality back into server.el.  The new
   emacsclient/server.el handles temp-file-regexp, multiple files, and
   "+nnn" notation for going to a certain line properly.

All of these seem to me to be good features that have no reason not to
be in the standard emacs release.  Is there any reason why we did not
submit them for consideration when we first made the changes here at
Athena?  I, for one, know that I have used *all* of these features
without ever realing that they wouldn't work, or that they aren't
standard GNU emacsclient features.
