In-Reply-To: <E1D5CN7-0002E4-5p@fencepost.gnu.org> (message from Richard Stallman on Sat, 26 Feb 2005 19:33:21 -0500)
The idea of using capitalized keywords is good, but you've shortened
some of the messages too much. I don't like these:
! EDITED, but not set." "\
What about:
EDITED, shown value does not take effect until you set or save it.
! SET, but not saved." "\
What about:
SET for current session only.
And this is quite confusing:
! STRAY, you should not see this." "\
What about:
UNCUSTOMIZABLE, you should not see this.
The "you should not see this" is the same sentence that occurs in:
UNINITIALIZED, you should not see this.
and
UNKNOWN, you should not see this.
All three should really not occur in an actual Custom buffer.
Sincerely,
Luc.
