Subject: bug#21447: 25.0.50; doc string of `character-fold-search'
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 08:43:24 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9c816276-095f-4d86-8666-06c8f3270e77@default> (raw)
1. This should be a defcustom, not a defvar. But this improvement has
apparently already been agreed to (per emacs-devel correspondence).
2. The doc string should treat characters as characters. It should not
just put " and a inline, with no syntax making them stand out.
They should be written as `?\"' and `?a'. Or at least as ?\" and ?a.
Or possibly as `"' and `a'.
3. Please replace "(and then some)" by some indication of what is meant
by it. Just say that `?a' also matches other kinds of "a-like"
characters, such as <GIVE AN EXAMPLE>.
