* bug#10189: wholenump versus natnump

Package: emacs
Severity: minor

The Elisp manual says (since at least v21):

   @code{natnump} is an obsolete synonym for @code{wholenump}.

However, the doc-string of natnump does not say anything about it being
an (obsolete) alias for wholenump.

wholenump is used a grand total of 7 times in the Emacs sources,
whereas natnump is used ~ 100 times.


Either natnump should be marked obsolete and replaced with wholenump, or
the manual should be changed.

No point making it obsolete, anyway.  I've clarified this in the manual,
thanks for spotting it.
