Subject: Re: Bug in file name completion
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 20:15:36 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fc339e4a0511170315h1d266b7v@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <fc339e4a0511170310w697555b0t@mail.gmail.com>

Actually, now that I think about it, I've decided I prefer Lennart's
suggestion to the two I made -- I had been thinking about the
"pattern" argument to the function as a "thing" to be matched, but
Lennart's name emphasizes that it's really a bunch of alternatives.

I think it would read well in source code too:

   (when (string-match-any name possible-names)
      ... do something ...)
