Indeed, but Emacs does not have a history of when functions are introduced -- we only have guesswork. Which is why it says "probably". assoc-delete-all has a convoluted history -- it was introduced in 1999, and then renamed to assq-delete-all, before being reintroduced in 2018 again. Here the guesser guesses wrong. Closing. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
