Subject: bug#20421: 25.0.50; doc string of `insert-buffer-substring'
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 16:19:28 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <72ff228c-ad59-4fcc-a9d1-9109c0bb13ec@default> (raw)
Unlike the doc string of `insert', this doc string does not explicitly
say the following:
Point and before-insertion markers move forward to end up
after the inserted text.
Any other markers at the point of insertion remain before the text.
It should. Here is an example where a reader did not understand some
code, partly because, it seems, this doc string is not explicit about
this.
