Subject: bug#20784: 25.0.50; pcase documentation on t and nil
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 21:20:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAdUY-J_daTEkrGSFjN_E3NAVxM+bZuBMPBB4j+3f-O8oy=pVg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In pcase's docstirng, the second line of pcase patterns says:
SELFQUOTING matches itself. This includes keywords, numbers, and strings.
However, that doesn't apply to t and nil, instead, they are covered by
the SYMBOL clause.
I've always thought of t and nil as self-quoting, but if that's not
the case, I think the docstring should explicitly state:
SELFQUOTING matches itself. This includes keywords, numbers, and
strings (but not t or nil).
