Well, there's an example of output: c:/usr/wrk/pru.el: In toplevel form c:/usr/wrk/pru.el:1:7: warning: inhibit-local-variables is an obsolete variable since before 19.15; Use enable-local-variables (with the reversed sense). c:/usr/wrk/pru.el:1:7: warning: assignment to free variable inhibit-local-variables c:/usr/wrk/pru.el:2:7: warning: auto-fill-hook is an obsolete variable since before 19.15; use auto-fill-function instead. c:/usr/wrk/pru.el:2:7: warning: assignment to free variable auto-fill-hook c:/usr/wrk/pru.el:3:2: warning: frame-update-faces is an obsolete function since 21.1; No longer necessary. c:/usr/wrk/pru.el:4:2: warning: dot-marker is an obsolete function since before 19.15; use point-marker instead. Wrote c:/usr/wrk/pru.elc where `inhibit-local-variable' and `frame-update-faces' have been capitalized, while `auto-fill-hook' and `dot-marker' are not (they have no NEW string, only a symbol). So, obviously, either the strings are un-capitalized and describe-variable and describe-function's new functionality is somewhat fixed, or they are capitalized and byte-compile-obsolete is modified to put a dot instead of a semicolon, or whatever is deemed appropriate.
