Subject: Reference to ‘alist’ in Emacs Lisp Manual without previous explanation
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 11:10:21 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2ft66lsxm.fsf@codeisgreat.org> (raw)
I am reading the Emacs Lisp Manual from beginning and
sequencially. Found reference to ‘alist’ in section 2.4.12 Hash Table
Type without any previous explanation.
Either a brief summary should be provided before this, probably near
2.4.6 Cons Cell and List Types or a cross-reference should be added.
Regards
