2019-06-21 Gopher Clients for Emacs
===================================

“Always two there are...” – Yoda

I’ve been using the Gopher app on my iOS devices for a while, now, as
well as VF-1 on the command line. For Emacs, I was using gopher.el.
But yesterday, @gcupc mentioned a second Gopher client for Emacs:
Elpher. Indeed, there are at least two implementations of everything
in Emacs! 😓

The number one thing I’ve thought when I gave Elpher a try was:
there’s no browsing history! There’s no way to say “back”, or “next”
(if reading a text file in a menu). When I read the History and
Caching entry on GitHub, however, it seems that the up command does
what I’d think a back command would do.

And something else I’ve noticed: there’s no TLS support.
gophers://alexschroeder.ch:7443 can’t be accessed. I’ve added that to
gopher.el, I might as well try and add it to Elpher, I guess?

UTF-8 works. 👍
