Reflecting back, I think the decision to tether this local module to the global module `keep-place' was wrong. A likely usage pattern for this feature is per-buffer activation, whether interactively or via join hook. Such users shouldn't be asked to buy into `keep-place' everywhere. Contrast this with `fill-wrap'. It too is a local module that depends on a global one, but there's no clear use case for *not* wanting it in some subset of buffers, so it's effectively global (but technically local for maintenance reasons). Anyway, I've gone ahead and fixed this problem [1], so that `keep-place' and `keep-place-indicator' are completely separate but work in tandem when `keep-place' is active. However, as implied, the local module can also operate completely independently. Thanks. P.S. Don't be confused by the version in the subject line: the original `keep-place' is new in ERC 5.6.
