Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 10:42:04 -0800	[thread overview]

Actually, I also tried this, but it seemed to make no difference:

(repeat (choice
         (cons :tag "Item"
          (string :tag "Name")
          (restricted-sexp
           :tag "Command"
           :match-alternatives (commandp)))
         (list :tag "Separator" (const "--"))))

And for the default value that causes a `mismatch' in older Emacs versions (20
through 23) for some reason - so I reverted to just `sexp'.

(Can you see anything wrong with that type spec?  Dunno why older versions give
the value a `mismatch'.)

Thanks.  I don't know the difference between the buglist wishlist status and the
Emacs TODO list.  I imagine that the difference is that almost anything that any
user requests gets put on the wishlist but only things that Emacs Dev thinks are
important get put on the TODO list.  But either is OK, I guess.
