Subject: bug#10475: 24.0.92; `C-h v' displays `*' indicating user option
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:50:47 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7f68cec2-a520-47c5-8d4b-820619cc0213@default> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3ab52fb9-48c6-4b36-a53f-fe60d607fb2d@default>
If it wasn't clear, consider a library that is perfectly
usable in Emacs 25 but also in older Emacs versions that
require the `*'. That library _should_ continue to use
the `*'. Emacs 25 and later should tolerate it: remove
it from the output, knowing that older code will have it.
It is narrow-minded to think that just because the latest
distributed Emacs code no longer needs something no other
Emacs code needs it.
