Hi Martin,

I tested the new version with Emacs CVS (23.0.60), and it worked - thank
you. I'm sorry to have overlooked this mistake in the snippet!

While testing the latest ESS SVN version, I found another issue: With
point at the beginning of an empty line inside a LaTeX section of an Rnw
file, I press "<". Then ESS (as expected) inserts "<<>>=", and the major
mode changes to ess-mode. When I then press C-a C-k to delete that line
again, the major mode unexpectedly remains ess-mode for that section.

In addition, when byte-compiling the SVN version with the latest Emacs
CVS version, I see several warnings of the form:

   noweb-mode.el:1688:27:Warning: `next-line' used from Lisp code
   That command is designed for interactive use only

This can have unintended and rather strange effects in the new Emacs
version: `line-move-visual' now defaults to "t", and `next-line' thus
behaves now even more differently from `forward-line' than previously.

Thank you and all the best,
Markus
