; Note: This discussion (require 'emacs)
Needing sexp-based motion and marking in Scheme has actually learned
me to used it in C programming as well and I really like it. It is
quite convenient to trott along function definitions and blocks.
Simply rolling up and down using C-p and C-n is so inefficient and
moving over paragraphs doesn't seem to work very well in C mode (but
that might be due to my coding habits).
