This new (attached) patch satisfies both of your requests, and fixes my
use of functions from cl.el.  ‘electric--insertable-p’ now accepts
either a string or a character, and makes a one-char string if given a
single character, as inside the function the argument is passed to
another function that needs a string.

On a side note, I guess the build system should require a certain
minimum version for the texinfo compiler (I only read info, so IDK which
program), as while the build goes fine with the default texinfo 4.8 on
my FreeBSD 10.3, the end result renders multibyte characters as octal
escape sequences (all okay when I installed 6.1 from ports).
‘doc/emacs/docstyle.texi’ from 25.1-rc2 has this:

    @c Emacs documentation style settings
    @documentencoding UTF-8
    @c These two require Texinfo 5.0 or later, so we use the older
    @c equivalent @set variables supported in 4.11 and hence

Build doesn't fail but says "unrecognised encoding UTF-8".
