Subject: follow-mode arg should be optional
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 04:52:59 -0500 (CDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070710095259.0D8BA9DC6D6@terlingua.local> (raw)

In follow.el, we read:

 (defun follow-mode (arg) ...

Maybe that arg should be &optional, so that it is
possible to put follow-mode in the first line of a
file, with, e.g.,

  -*- mode: follow; -*-

As it is now, I believe a wrong-number-of-arguments
error arises when the code that parses such first lines
tries to execute (follow-mode).  The error is masked to
some extent, but still shows up in a part of my screen.

Thanks so much for Emacs.  What a wondrous system --
one of the real seven wonders of the world.  Forced to
choose between Emacs and, say, any pyramid, I'd take
Emacs.
