Subject: bug#21594: 25.0.50; (elisp): node `Variable Definitions' is not reachable by `i variable definition'
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 14:46:26 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae6720ed-ad9d-4110-9213-c8abdafa81e6@default> (raw)
The problem is more the node name than the index entry. The node title,
within the node, is `Defining Customization Variables', which is much
better.
I imagine that the node name was picked because the node is a subnode of
node `Customization', but that is not a good enough reason.
`Info-goto-node' handles the nodes of a manual in a flat way.
A node named `Variable Definitions' should cover all of defvar,
defconst, and defcustom. Likewise, an index entry named `variable
definition'. IOW, someone hunting for info about variable definitions
should be able to get to general info about all kinds of variable
definitions.
