Subject: bug#17623: 24.4.50; incorrect example for `apply-partially' in (elisp) `Calling Functions'
Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 16:53:35 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9fd43ff1-d6cf-4ac6-b173-2fd634f45a98@default> (raw)
The text states incorrectly that the example defines an equivalent of
built-in function `1+', but it does not. The function defined in the
example is equivalent to this one, which is not equivalent to `1+':
(defun 1+-sum (&rest args)
"Return one more than the sum of the args."
(1+ (apply #'+ args)))
This function accepts any number of args, including zero.
`1+' requires a single arg.
As it stands, this example is liable to confuse more than help.
