Subject: bug#18211: 24.4.50; doc string of `posnp'
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 07:48:38 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <34324475-f6c6-4556-963b-732f11d602c1@default> (raw)


Doc string:

 Return non-nil if OBJ appears to be a valid `posn' object.

What is a `posn' object?  What is a valid one?

(elisp) `Accessing Mouse' gives an understandable description.  If it is
correct then use something similar for the doc string:

     returns non-`nil' if OBJECT is a mouse position list,
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
     in either of the formats documented in *note Click
     Events::); and `nil' otherwise.

(FWIW, that manual text should not say "either", since there are more
than two such formats.  It should say "one".)
