Subject: bug#10319: 24.0.92; doc string of `file-remote-p'
Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:17:38 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DBE2D6DE28284DC89B079859C1F1A5E1@us.oracle.com> (raw)

This part means nothing, and is misleading:
 
"`file-remote-p' will never open a connection on its own."
 
What could "on its own" possibly mean here.  This function can invoke a
handler, which can open a connection.  So this function can open a
connection.  We don't distinguish what the implementation of a function
does from what the function does.  If the code in the body of
`file-remote-p' ends up opening a connection, then `file-remote-p' opens
a connection.
 
You are probably trying to say something useful here (what?), but so far
you have not said anything useful by this sentence.  And it misleads.
