* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

** `sit-for' understands XEmacs args (SECONDS &optional NODISP).

** New standard font-lock face `font-lock-preprocessor-face'.

** The macro `with-syntax-table' does not copy the table any more.

over minor mode keymaps.

** A hex escape in a string forces the string to be multibyte.
An octal escape makes it unibyte.

** The code that forced point to move out of images and composition
has been generalized to apply to overlays as well and to invisible text.
This makes it generally unnecessary to mark invisible text as intangible,
which is particularly good due to the fact that the intangible property
can often have unexpected side-effects because the property applies
to everything (including `goto-char', ...) whereas this new code is
only run after post-command-hook and thus does not care about intermediate
states.
	
** Only one of the beginning or end of an invisible, intangible region is
considered an acceptable value for point; which one is determined by
examining how the invisible/intangible properties are inherited when new
text is inserted adjacent to them.  If text inserted at the beginning would
inherit the invisible/intangible properties, then that position is

** `minor-mode-list' now holds a list of minor mode commands.

** The new command `modify-all-frames-parameters' modifies parameters
for all (existing and future) frames.

** `sit-for' can now be called with args (SECONDS &optional NODISP).

An octal escape makes it unibyte.

** At the end of a command, point moves out from within invisible
text, in the same way it moves out from within text covered by an
image or composition property.
