Subject: bug#8659: 24.0.50; doc string of comment-end-skip
Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 16:49:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0BCD0B03FE4C4CC298EFAF1FF810E140@us.oracle.com> (raw)
comment-start-skip:
"*Regexp to match the start of a comment plus everything up to its
body...."
comment-end-skip:
"Regexp to match the end of a comment plus everything up to its body."
The latter seems wrong. End of a comment up to the comment's body? Is
it "up to" that is wrong/odd ("back to"), or is the comment's body not
the text that is commented out?
comment-end-skip was added long after comment-start-skip. I wonder
whether this is just the result of a lazy copy+paste? In any case, the
text is unclear to me.
