Subject: bug#10502: 24.0.92; Please add optional NAMES arg to `read-char-by-name'
Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2012 07:08:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E62DC542DF3E41D6BBDA3E09B543AE35@us.oracle.com> (raw)
The use of `(ucs-names)' is hard-coded in `read-char-by-name'. Please
add an optional parameter NAMES that defaults to `(ucs-names)' and use
that instead. That will enable callers to use a different set of
candidates, typically a subset of `(ucs-names)'.
`ucs-names' is gigantic and all-emcompassing. Code that calls
`read-char-by-name' for a particular purpose/context might well deal
with only a subset of that giant set of char names. The names it deals
with should not be hard-coded but should be decidable programmatically.
