Subject: bug#73427: 29.4; Doc of `append` not quite complete/correct
Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2024 18:01:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DS7PR10MB52325AFC1DCB623060ADABECF36E2@DS7PR10MB5232.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/82238/105 for a complete
description of the doc bug (omission).

The doc, at least in the Elisp manual, should explicitly mention the
case where all args except the last are nil and the last is a sequence
(e.g. a string) that's not a proper list.

In that particular case the last argument is returned, as is - a
non-list sequence. This is an exception to the otherwise correct
statements that the result is a list (including perhaps a dotted list).

Please read the last part of that StackExchange post, which refers to
this Common Lisp doc as calling out the particular case that's missing
from our doc:
