Subject: Hash table read syntax
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:17:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fx72akek.fsf@stupidchicken.com> (raw)

I think there's a problem with the design of the hash table read syntax:

(make-hash-table)
#s(hash-table size 65 test eql rehash-size 1.5 rehash-threshold 0.8 data ())

The plist ought to use `:size', `:test', `:rehash-size', etc., rather
than `size', `test', `rehash-size', etc.  Otherwise, it's inconsistent
with the arguments to `make-hash-table', which uses `:size', `:test',...

I would like to make this change now, before it becomes "official" with
the Emacs 23.2 release.  Any objections?
