Subject: Re: Documentation not clear for the Lisp function set-variable

Message-ID: <E1DnL7g-0004zK-38@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

Maybe set-variable should first try to complete non-obsolete aliases,
and filter out obsolete aliases (but still accept them).
I don't like that idea. The command should accept *all* names,
whether obsolete or not. But it would be nice to inform the user in
the echo area that the name is obsolete, and give the new name if any.
