Subject: bug#32743: 27.0.50; down-list RFC
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 09:17:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6204f1b3-8978-f5b6-ae04-21b2eeddb8af@easy-emacs.de> (raw)

Hi all,

‘down-list’ currently returns nil if successful but Scan error:
"Containing expression ends prematurely" if no further list exist downwards.

Suggest to return position reached if successful and nil if no further
list exist.

BTW with current or-clause, second expression will be never be
executed due to error thrown as mentioned:

(goto-char (or (scan-lists (point) inc -1) (buffer-end arg)))

Also reaching buffer-end doesn't make sense IMO in this case, point
should not change then while returning nil.

Thanks,
Andreas
