Subject: bug#9525: 24.0.50; Elisp manual: index most-(posi|nega)tive-fixnum under (max|min)
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:51:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B3A7CD40E3814FBA843BB28FEC29EDDD@us.oracle.com> (raw)
In the Elisp manual, try to find the variables holding the largest and
smallest integers. Unless you happen to know and look for their names,
you will not find them using `i'.
Variables `most-positive-fixnum' and `most-negative-fixnum' should be
indexed not only under their names but also using the terms "maximum"
and "minimum" in conjunction with "integer" and even just "number".
Those are the kinds of words that someone will use when trying to find
such a variable.
