Mainly for Vitalie,

You have replaced ess-eval-visibly-p  by the version without  '-p'
keeping the old one as alias ...
which at first looks ago.

But for me who sets  ess-eval-visibly-p to nil  in one of my emacs
startup scripts,
the effect is "dramatic":

Inside ESS,  ess-eval-visibly-p takes its value from ess-eval-visibly
and that is   t by default.
===>  My setting of  ess-eval-visibly to nil
has no effect anymore.

I'm pretty sure that many other ESS users would be similarly affected...
So I think we need a different "trick"  to move from using the *-p
version to the one that emacs standards
recommend (namely w/o "-p").

Right?

Martin
