Subject: bug#59779: string-equal-ignore-case's docstring is misleading
Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2022 17:57:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86k039spzo.fsf@graner.name> (raw)
The docstring for string-equal-ignore-case reads:
Like ‘string-equal’, but case-insensitive.
However, string-equal accepts symbols and strings as arguments, while
string-equal-ignore-case accepts only strings. This can be confusing to
people familiar with string-equal.
Either string-equal-ignore-case should be made to accept symbols as
arguments, or the doc should be clarified.
Nicolas
