Perhaps -- I wasn't originally intending to release anything this
early until a couple of people on IRC showed an interest. So the
whole thing is a bit premature....

By the time I'm done, the existing code *will* be heavily modified.
And much more than that will be reformatted to my preferences.

The colon is required, and whitespace is not allowed. The perl regexp
used by dinstall is: "/closes:\s*(bug)?\#\d+(,\s*(bug)?\#\d+)*/i". I
didn't design this, I'm just trying to highlight it. :-)

Very good suggestion, thanks. Definitely worth looking into.
(Ideally, I'd like to provide functionality to browse the bug
database, perhaps through ldap or http, but that's probably going to
have to wait for a *much* later version....)
cheers
p.s. if you're on the -emacsen list, maybe we can move this entirely
to the list, and avoid the duplicate emails?
