Subject: bug#20462: 25.0.50; A minor mode's doc string should say it is [local/global] a minor mode
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 10:29:46 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <38bd87fc-e9d5-43c1-9687-e66faf993c7e@default> (raw)

A minor mode created conventionally, i.e., using `define-minor-mode' or
`define-globalized-minor-mode', should automatically have its doc string
say explicitly that it is a minor mode and whether it is local or
global.

That helps users know what to expect, because all such minor modes have
some things in common, which are well documented.
