Subject: bug#16797: 24.3.50; `emacs-lisp-mode' does not derive from `lisp-mode'
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:13:10 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b538683a-2d2d-4854-8b52-5ecef5bd59d6@default> (raw)
This is as much a question as a bug report, but this seems a better
place to ask it than emacs-devel@gnu.org:
Why is `emacs-lisp-mode' derived from `prog-mode' and not `lisp-mode'?
To test whether, e.g., the current buffer is one where you could
evaluate a Lisp sexp in it, you would need to test whether the current
mode is derived from one or the other of these two Lisp modes.
Seems like `lisp-mode' should in some sense "encompass"
`emacs-lisp-mode', and perhaps any other Lisp modes as well.
Feel free to close this, if it does not in fact report a bug.
But in that case I would like to know what the reason is.
