I have implemented quiet splitting and deletion in version 19, built in. (It was simpler that way.) It is no use trying to persuade me to add anything to the Emacs distribution until version 19. That would be duplicated work and we can't afford it. The BBN code in 18.54 had been in earlier versions and was withdrawn temporarily cleaning up legal papers.
