I meant a time closer to when the elisp manual was written, viz. http://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/emacs/elisp-manual-20-2.5.tar.gz has (in the node we are talking about: A Sample Function Description) @defun foo integer1 &optional integer2 &rest integers but the formatted manual included in that tarball has - Function: foo INTEGER1 &optional INTEGER2 &rest INTEGERS That's the reason why Drew's report rang a bell: I remembered that years ago I had become aware of this change from upper-case to lower-case at some point. >> So is there anything wrong with Drew's revised suggestion (as >> I understand it)? > See above. That said, I don't want to argue anymore, so I installed > your changes on the emacs-24 branch; thanks. I could have done that (which is why I neglected to supply a change log entry), but thanks.
