Subject: bug#24875: 26.0.50; In Dotted Pair Notation, the read function returns CDR if CAR is absent
Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2016 09:00:52 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <59e3d2a7-03cb-4de3-9bc3-b35753073a4f@default> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87fun7v02h.fsf@xuchunyang.me>

Indeed.  This is not "normal" (usual) Lisp behavior.
It seems quite bizarre - unexpected, to say the least.

If this is intentional for Emacs Lisp then the Emacs-Lisp
doc should both (1) describe this behavior and (2) give the
rationale behind it.
