Although the code part of that branch looks good, the documentation patch= still=20 has significant unaddressed problems, first mentioned here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-09/msg00775.html with followup discussion ongoing as of today. Your latest proposal contin= ues to=20 recommend an awkward text-quoting-style programming technique used nowher= e in=20 Emacs, while refusing to mention the technique that is actually used. (Al= so,=20 it's too wordy.) This needs to be fixed, and I trust that the ongoing dis= cussion=20 will help do that.
