Subject: bug#29551: 24.5; doc string of `bookmark-alist'
Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2017 15:41:10 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c1584eef-8c9d-49d6-b3e2-9198e99df75e@default> (raw)
A bookmark is more than a name.
The first line of the doc string says this:
Association list of bookmarks and their records.
That's wrong, or at best misleading. Each entry in the alist is a
_bookmark_. That is, each entry is a bookmark "record", whose car
is the bookmark name, and whose cdr is the associated bookmark data.
The doc should say something like this:
"Association list of bookmark names and bookmark data."
or
"Association list of bookmark records." (and then say what a record is)
