Subject: On cl-print and help-fns
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 22:10:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170630021020.GA27460@holos.localdomain> (raw)

Hi,

While cl-print is a nice feature, I am puzzled why its use in the help
buffer is neither documented nor configurable.

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=2c18969c8

I think that "Its value is #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode>)", while
less messy, is less useful than just seeing the bytecode, as the bytecode
would at least give me a clue.  The cl-prin1-to-string output is opaque.
