Sturgeon — A toolkit for communicating with Emacs

v0.4

Sturgeon implements various tools for manipulating Emacs from OCaml:

• Sturgeon_sexp implements the Emacs dialect of S-expressions
• Sturgeon_session implements an "session protocol" to make RPC to Emacs from OCaml and vice versa
• Sturgeon_stui is a session implementing an Inuit backend: one can now runs text user-interface on an Emacs buffer
• Sturgeon_recipes_* offers different "rendez-vous" points to connect to Emacs

Sturgeon is distributed under the ISC license.
