Subject: bug#22019: 25.0.50; Bad comment in `character-fold-to-regexp'
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 15:03:36 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3a754c45-2dc0-403f-9396-cefca118454d@default> (raw)
This part of an explanatory comment is inadequate and inappropriate:
;; See commit message for a longer description.
What commit message? The source code should contain the description.
If a VC commit message happens to also contain the description, so
much the better for it. But that doesn't help a reader of the code.
This comment is intended to make clear what the design/intention is.
Readers of the source code deserve the additional design information
as much as maintainers who might bother to access the relevant commit.
