Subject: [boyer@cs.utexas.edu: follow-mode arg should be optional]
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:01:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1I8NmK-0000t3-Ba@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Would someone please fix this in Emacs 22 and the trunk,
then ack? (Please respond to him too--in general, when I
ask people to fix a bug, part of that should be to send a thanks
for the bug report.)
And please note his praise for all of us.

Subject: follow-mode arg should be optional
In follow.el, we read:
(defun follow-mode (arg) ...
Maybe that arg should be &optional, so that it is
possible to put follow-mode in the first line of a
file, with, e.g.,
-*- mode: follow; -*-
As it is now, I believe a wrong-number-of-arguments
error arises when the code that parses such first lines
tries to execute (follow-mode). The error is masked to
some extent, but still shows up in a part of my screen.
Thanks so much for Emacs. What a wondrous system --
one of the real seven wonders of the world. Forced to
choose between Emacs and, say, any pyramid, I'd take
Emacs.
