Subject: maphash: improve docstring
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 22:31:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAG7BpaqZ8g1f6+oUVnuS8YdOjAip8OB5_A6CjUm_N4tCtr0ADA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Docstring for `maphash' doesn't give any answer to the following
question: is the callback FUNCTION allowed to access the hash
table in read mode (I guess yes) and write mode?  About the
latter I have no idea without studying internal implementation.

E.g., is the following code going to work as a way to filter a
hash table?

    (maphash (lambda (key value)
               (unless (i-like-it value)
                 (remhash key hash-table)))
             hash-table)

Paul
