In the process of translating M. Bismut's question, which regards the fact
that labels can't have '.' in them for some reason, I discovered a rather
more serious bug than that which he's complaining about: If you type all of
the above down to "...By (" and then type <apple>X, as he says, everything
is deleted back to the end of the \label{}. I can get this in a pristine
version of 7.2.1b12. This only seems to happen in a fresh document. I
suspect that point-mark is getting messed up somewhere in the equation
template and so "cut", rather than doing nothing at EOF, cuts everything
back to some erroneous mark.
This isn't my code and I'm _really_ busy right now, so could one of the
Tcl-hacking multitudes take a stab at figuring out what's wrong? Please
also look into why '.' is throwing off the label-ref pair (I won't get into
how silly it is to use numbers for reference labels...)
M. Bismut, pourquoi avez-vous tapé la " pomme X "?
le \ref{ } est obtenu en tapant <option><control>X.

Oui.

Oui.
