Subject: Re: allout patch - more safe-local-variables, plus autoloads
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 17:12:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1FWJyL-0006Gn-IV@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87r73uji3b.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (message from Stefan Monnier on Wed, 19 Apr 2006 00:39:25 -0400)
If we disallow t and want a quick&dirty replacement predicate for boolean
values, we can either introduce booleanp (seems like a good predicate to
have around anyway) or just use symbolp.
symbolp is not correct; a boolean variable can have any Lisp object
as its value. If booleanp is mean to mean "is t or nil", that would
also be incorrect.
I don't see any great need to eliminate t as a value,
and certainly not at the cost of any real annoyance.
