doctor.el follows its namespace nicely, except that it defines // and
$. It seems to me that given how infrequently doctor.el is used, it
should not take up such "small" , otherwise convenient symbols. In
fact, the way i discovered it was when my own // and $ got overwritten
by doctor.el...
if folks agree i will gladly submit a patch.. :)
In principle, this is right--but I am afraid it will make the doctor
code a lot harder to read. Perhaps let's use doc// and doc$.
BTW, how does one "normally" get to see doctor-rms etc. in action?
(other than typing M-: (doctor-rms) ?
I don't know how the program works. Does anyone here know?
