It has known "issues", and is much slower than the built-in mode, so I
won't recommend that to anyone nowadays.  The numerous problems and
incompatibilities of that mode and its ilk were the main reason why we
developed a built-in mode, which is implemented in the display engine
in an optimal way, instead of trying to force the display from Lisp to
do stuff it wasn't supposed to do.
