Subject: bug#23957: [PATCH] Make fboundp an alias for symbol-function
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:13:25 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b8ff60bc-5920-43b3-9707-00f7f7ce487e@default> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87k2gr49lp.fsf@cochranmail.com>

Why would we do this?

It is not backward compatible, since `fboundp' returns t if
there is a function value and `symbol-function' returns that
function value.  This will break any code that depends on
getting t or nil.

What is the point of this "fix"?
