Subject: describe-function vs. long names
Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 09:23:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r6l4ekxm.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
On your 80 column terminal, ask yourself "does executing this wrap
unnecessarily?": (describe-function (quote
font-lock-match-c-style-declaration-item-and-skip-to-next))
The problem is that describe-function was invented before the age of
long function names. It's first line of output should be folded, not
wrapped.
Yes, reported weeks ago, but not as clearly as now. P.S., doing ^X^E
(eval-last-sexp) on the above also makes a mess in the minibuffer.
