bug#60348: 30.0.50; Incorrect docstring face in lisp-mode

[Gabriel]

Steps:

1) emacs -Q (master branch)

2) Open *scratch* buffer (or any buffer with a lisp major mode)

3) Type:

(defun foo () "Hello, World!")

Expected result: The string "Hello, World!" is fontified with
'font-lock-string-face'.

Actual result: The string "Hello, World!" is fontified with
'font-lock-doc-face'.

I'm not sure I understand why you expected something other than
font-lock-doc-face.  E.g., the Lisp interpreter disagrees with you:

  (documentation 'foo)
    => "Hello, World!"

Am I missing something here?

Hi Eli,

Well, I am not sure either, but for me it's sort of confusing.  If you
eval:

  (foo)
  => "Hello, World!"

How does the Lisp interpreter handles this case?  It's a docstring AND a
function body?

I think you're not missing anything.  This is the expected behavior, and
this is not a bug.

I'm therefore closing this bug report.
