Subject: bug#24014: 24.5; doc string of `cl-reduce'
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2016 07:55:07 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18e97f8d-f6f8-4b4c-9d4c-20eb8664483e@default> (raw)
Please state in the doc string what the function does. IOW,
explain/describe/specify what "reduce" means. Do not suppose that Emacs
Lisp users are all familiar with functional programming etc.
If _you_ understand it, you should be able to describe it in a couple of
sentences. It's not a complicated thing, but just repeating the word
"reduce" from the function name is not sufficient - not helpful.
In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
`configure --prefix=/c/usr --host=i686-pc-mingw32'
