OK!
Because, many cases where I replaced `apply' by
`nconc' were lists of lists.
What is the reason one has to use `list'? (I suppose
the ` isn't safe, either.)
And: In Pascal's examples he always used `setf'.
The help says it can be used for places as well as for
symbols. In the examples tho there has been only
symbols if I'm not mistaken.
(setq completion-ignored-extensions
(nconc completion-ignored-extensions (list ".bcf" ".run.xml")) )
(setq ispell-skip-region-alist
(nconc ispell-skip-region-alist (list '("`" . "\\(`\\|'\\)"))) )
(let*((write
(list
'("hp" "http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573")
'("lenght" "length")
;; ...
'("thedate" "" (lambda () (interactive) (show-time-and-date t))) ; INSERT
))
(groups (list
'("ctt" "comp.text.tex")
'("geg" "gmane.emacs.gnus")
;; ...
))
(both (nconc write groups)))
(define-abbrev-table 'global-abbrev-table both) )
(let ((modes (list
'("\\.bal\\'" . balance-mode)
'("\\.gpi\\'" . gnuplot-mode)
;; ...
)))
(setq auto-mode-alist (nconc modes auto-mode-alist)) )
