I do not see that. Can you please SHOW the text you are referring to rather than describing it? Anyway that is the wrong place to explain a type. So I just wrote text to expain `group' in Composite Types. However, the example that should have been changed to use `list' instead of `group' still uses `group'. See type `alist' in node Simple Types. Do you mean this? @smallexample (defcustom list-alist '(("foo" 1) ("bar" 2) ("baz" 3)) "Each element is a list of the form (KEY VALUE)." :type '(alist :value-type (group integer))) @end smallexample I think it is ok to use `group' if that looks better.
