We know. This value of transient-mark-mode (as well as a couple of others) is documented in the ELisp manual. It's been there for the last 7 years, so I think it's a bit too late to rename it now (and I'm not sure I agree that the value was chosen poorly).

I checked C-h v transient-mark-mode and there in the help buffer the word lambda is linked to the help page of lambda expressions which can be pretty confusing for the reader. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
