Richard Stallman wrote: 19.34 executing-macro Please delete that too. I believe that Richard may have been unaware of the fact that, until very recently, executing-macro and _not_ executing-kbd-macro were documented in the Elisp manual. This only got changed in August 2004 in CVS. (Actually, I changed one occurrence of executing-kbd-macro just moments ago.) So people using the Elisp manual for reference are likely to have kept using executing-macro. Do we still want to remove it given that? Sincerely, Luc.
