I expected a "`" and a "'" around the "coding:" cookie, but there's none. So I have a question: when should we add these delimiters? I can't find a reference/convention documentation. IMHO at least these things need those delimiters: * Lisp symbols * Configure options and there are something I'm uncertain about: * Key sequences * Code span (I think "coding:" cookie is belong to this category) * "Modules" (like those in Eshell and Org) * Library/package names (with or without `.el') * Value of Lisp variables * Value returned by functions/lambda/primitives/macros Footnotes: [fn:1] http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/112957 -- Best regards, Xue Fuqiao. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
