Subject: Emacs Telling You the Kind of the Variable Under the Cursor?
Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 15:03:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A1D3A0E.5060302@gmail.com> (raw)

Dear All,
The email title almost says it all.
I read in a slashdot post that you can configure Emacs so that it will 
tell you/display somewhere (there were no details in that post) the type 
of the variable under the cursor.
This sounds handy, but I have no idea how to activate this feature 
(given but not granted that it exists really).
Any hints?
Cheers

Lorenzo
