Subject: bug#12061: 24.1; doc string of `map-char-table'
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:56:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6A66F2D57AD545D480F2A3C545B31350@us.oracle.com> (raw)
The doc string does not describe the VALUE parameter of FUNCTION: what
its type is or what it does/means. How can someone use `map-char-table'
and come up with a FUNCTION without knowing what the parameters are for?
This information, from the Elisp manual, is apparently missing:
"The value is what `(char-table-range CHAR-TABLE KEY)' returns."
But even that does not seem to be enough to make sense of FUNCTION.
