That took a significant amount of my time. Those are not public functions, Alan. Even Dmitry pointed that out immediately. > It seems to me you are going back on your undertaking to amend these five > doc strings. Stop insinuating that. I'm sorry you lost time looking at those functions (by why???). But it's not my fault you have no distinction of public/private interface. Or at least not one I share. But I do, and the Emacs documentation does. The Emacs and Elisp manual doesn't describe '--' functions, period. Even checkdoc.el has this concept. Docstrings for internal functions don't hurt, but they're not the essential parts to describe a library. Surely not the first things you should focus on, because internals are by definition prone to one could re-implement all of cl-lib.el keeping the same interfaces and their docstrings with wholly new internals. I don't know why am I'm having to clarify this. Anyway, take care, Alan. Jo=C3=A3o
