Subject: bug#27583: 24.5; `info.el': some test for (eq major-mode 'Info-mode)
Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 19:11:04 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <81c97390-9678-4a2e-9772-f2ba9378ecd0@default> (raw)
Most of the places where `major-mode' is tested use a test like this:
(derived-mode-p 'Info-mode). But there are still a few places where
this is done: (eq major-mode 'Info-mode).
I think (but am not positive) that each of the latter tests should be
changed to use `derived-mode-p', to let users and libraries define and
use modes that are derived from `Info-mode'.
It looks like the places that still use (eq major-mode 'Info-mode)
constitute code that doesn't get much love. The occurrences are in
these 3 things:
Info-hide-note-references (in the option's :set function)
info-display-manual
info--manual-names (used only by info-display-manual)
