Subject: function arguments downcased in help buffers
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:20:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200804150020.m3F0KBMo012038@sallyv1.ics.uci.edu> (raw)
emacs -Q
C-h f defun RET
which CVS HEAD shows this:
defun is a special form in `C source code'.
(defun name arglist [docstring] body...)
Define name as a function.
The definition is (lambda arglist [docstring] body...).
See also the function `interactive'.
In 22.2 and older version from CVS HEAD used to show this:
defun is a special form in `C source code'.
(defun NAME ARGLIST [DOCSTRING] BODY...)
Define NAME as a function.
The definition is (lambda ARGLIST [DOCSTRING] BODY...).
See also the function `interactive'.
not sure why this happens, but it does not seem like a good idea, the
upper case used for arguments is quite helpful when trying to spot what
a certain argument does.
