Subject: bug#42324: 26.3; Doc string of `seq-concatenate'
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 09:10:36 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <efa23108-da23-4a5b-8bd7-23f25007bed0@default> (raw)
C-h f seq-concatenate
___
seq-concatenate is a compiled Lisp function in 'seq.el'.
(seq-concatenate TYPE SEQUENCE...)
Concatenate SEQUENCES into a single sequence of type TYPE.
TYPE must be one of following symbols: vector, string or list.
This is a generic function.
Implementations:
(type &rest sequences) in 'seq.el'.
Undocumented
___
1. See bug #42323 for the problem of the unhelpful, implicit reference
to CL implementations and "generic function".
2. The doc of `seq-concatenate' _really_ needs a description of how it
differs from `cl-concatenate'. That's completely unclear.
3. The doc says nothing about each SEQUENCE actually being automatically
converted (by copying, presumably) into a real sequence:
`seq-into-sequence'. It's not clear what's allowed as SEQUENCE.
#2 is the main reason I filed this bug report. What's the difference?
Why/when would you use one rather than the other?
