Subject: bug#44330: 26.3; doc string of `cl-some'
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2020 08:54:12 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0276f23e-6b26-431a-b1fa-25fe5ddb8fe6@default> (raw)
"Return true if PREDICATE is true of any element of SEQ or SEQs.
If so, return the true (non-nil) value returned by PREDICATE."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The second sentence is meaningless/underspecified. If the function
stops as soon as it finds the first element for which PREDICATE is
true then the doc should say that it returns the value returned by
PREDICATE _for that element_.
Without specifying, in some way, for which element the application of
PREDICATE returns non-nil, "the value returned by PREDICATE" has no
meaning.
