How about string-match-no-match-data? "no-data" is a bit vague, but this should be clear. That name is clear, but I'd rather find a shorter one. The only possible use for a "string-match" that doesn't set the match data is the boolean return value, right? So how about "string-match-p"? [And my apologies if this suggestion is not to the point; I'm having trouble keeping up with emacs-devel these days.] -- Bob Rogers http://rgrjr.dyndns.org/
