Subject: bug#29842: 27.0; `dired-change-marks': args should not be optional
Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2017 09:58:02 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b6b4e366-2b7d-4032-8ad0-546372181bd5@default> (raw)

1. There is no use of this function in the Emacs Lisp sources that needs
   to have the args be optional.

2. If (dired-change-marks) is evaluated then you get an error:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Format specifier doesn't match
                                         argument type") 
    format("\n%c" "nil")
    dired-change-marks()
    eval((dired-change-marks))

This bug is apparently quite old - it is present in Emacs 20, for
example.
