Subject: Re: Honesty with parse-partial-sexp
Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2006 10:47:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <457A8620.9090602@gmx.at> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1Gsqz0-000209-7F@fencepost.gnu.org>

In fact, the Elisp doc for `parse-partial-sexp' reading

      Element 9 is used only to set element 1
      of the return value, in trivial cases where parsing starts and
      stops within the same pair of parentheses.

should become

      Element 9 is used only to set elements 1 and 9
      of the return value, in trivial cases where parsing starts and
      stops within the same pair of parentheses.

and I'm in doubt whether all these cases are "trivial".

Finally, if you really want to document the 9th return value you should
talk about all its elements.
