Subject: Doc string of defvar
Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2019 22:35:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1hcL1D-0003Kr-L8@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

The doc string of defvar should say it makes the variable special
(every binding is dynamic, not lexical).
