Subject: bug#47813: 28.0.50; Confusing new calling convention for define-minor-mode
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2021 03:51:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <877dl36lpz.fsf@web.de> (raw)


Hello,

the new advertised calling contention for `define-minor-mode' is

| (mode doc &rest body)

Nothing wrong with that, but this part from the doc string:

| If you provide BODY, then you must provide at least one keyword
| argument.

says that the convention as printed is not valid - and indeed it
isn't -- e.g. this errors:

  (define-minor-mode test-mode "..." (if test-mode 17 23))

Is it possible to make that keyword-less case work?  Else the calling
convention should be made clearer in some way.

TIA, Michael.
