Ah, sorry.  I missed that you were referring to glib.  I agree that there
should be some consistency here.  Perhaps things would work better if Emacs
used none of it's own m* implementations.  That's just a WAG.  I really
have no experience with the Emacs code base.  But it does sound to me like
this would be Emacs configurable at least. ;-)
