List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:5754 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:5754 Two quiestions about timer.el: 1.- `timer-set-time' and `timer-set-time-with-usecs' say "if optional argument DELTA is a non-zero integer, blah blah blah" and then both do: (aset timer 4 (and (numberp delta) (> delta 0) delta)) and there's a ChangeLog entry from Richard: 1996-01-31 Richard Stallman (timer-set-time, timer-set-time-with-usecs): Allow floating DELTA. so, should the documentation be fixed to say "a non-zero number"? 2.- It is `timer-set-time-with-usecs' used anywhere on planet Earth, or it is just a case of creeping featuritis? Because the Emacs source does not use it, and a search on Google (web and group search) did not find anything but a few references to the timer.el source and to documentation... /L/e/k/t/u
