Subject: bug#11175: 24.0.94; doc string of `customize-apropos'
Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2012 11:04:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37D41224FB764DA3B032FABC4BA8297B@us.oracle.com> (raw)
The doc string is not written well for users, that is, for interactive
use. It should _first_ of all state clearly that:
* With no prefix arg, matching groups, faces, and options are
customized.
* With a prefix arg, matching groups, faces, options, and non-option
variables are customized.
Then it can go on to say what happens non-interactively wrt argument
TYPE. Users should not have to read about TYPE to understand the
interactive use.
