Subject: bug#8655: 24.0.50; doc of previous-single-char-property-change
Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 09:22:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7C50D2FF793F47CBBDCD6A5B7B31CA10@us.oracle.com> (raw)

Everything is symmetrical between the doc for
`next-single-char-property-change' and
`previous-single-char-property-change': last/first, forward/backward,
end/start... EXCEPT for this phrase, which is identical in the two doc
strings: "return LIMIT if nothing is found before LIMIT."
 
The problem is the ambiguity of "before".  Change the wording to "before
reaching LIMIT" and there is no problem.
