Subject: bug#12912: 24.3.50; doc string for `read-face-name'
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:37:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <516312D8C1444CE28E4459BC7115A1BA@us.oracle.com> (raw)
This doc seems to be incomplete and unclear wrt DEFAULT.
It speaks of a case where DEFAULT is not a string. It does not say what
else it must/can be (besides nil). Can it be a symbol - e.g., a face
symbol? Can it be a list of strings, i.e., multiple defaults? A list
of faces (symbols)?
What's more, there is nothing in the doc string that indicates that the
face name(s) is/are read using `completing-read-multiple'. Not that
that implementation detail need be mentioned explicitly, but its
_behavior_, i.e., what the behavior of `read-face-name' is, should be
described.
