As I said: | In all fairness, I thought the question interesting and spent some 10-15 | minutes searching an answer.... to no avail. | OTOH I generally find google usually gives a more pointed answer quicker than | manually searching the docs. This may well be some kind of exception.... ie I started with google (which was not useful) and didnt really try info. [And for some strange reason didnt look for SIGUSR but SIGINT SIGQUIT etc] However on a docs-improving note here's this little titbit: [On other thread] There was this claim "letrec is nice" or some such. Since I know letrec from scheme etc but never seen in elisp I was curious. I find: describe-function tells nothing about the recursion the elisp info pages (index) seems to not have it at all
