[boyer@cs.utexas.edu: follow-mode arg should be optional]

[Richard Stallman]

Would someone please fix this in Emacs 22 and the trunk,
then ack?  (Please respond to him too--in general, when I
ask people to fix a bug, part of that should be to send a thanks
for the bug report.)

And please note his praise for all of us.

Subject: follow-mode arg should be optional

In follow.el, we read:

 (defun follow-mode (arg) ...

Maybe that arg should be &optional, so that it is
possible to put follow-mode in the first line of a
file, with, e.g.,

  -*- mode: follow; -*-

As it is now, I believe a wrong-number-of-arguments
error arises when the code that parses such first lines
tries to execute (follow-mode).  The error is masked to
some extent, but still shows up in a part of my screen.

Thanks so much for Emacs.  What a wondrous system --
one of the real seven wonders of the world.  Forced to
choose between Emacs and, say, any pyramid, I'd take
Emacs.
