@Stefan:
Stephen objects to the change of Qunbound to Qvoid. Richard does not object.
The change would make the source code more consistent with the manual, which almost always uses the term ‟void” for the Qunbound state. Even the docstrings for makunbound and boundp use ‟void”, not ‟unbound”.
Section 11.4 ((elisp) Void Variables) even has four occurrences of ‟void” as a verb meaning «to make the state void», and uses ‟voidness” to mean «the state of being void».
The change would also make the source code more consistent with itself, since it already has Qvoid_variable, not Qunbound_variable, as the corresponding error code.
Stefan, may I make the change?
