Subject: bug#17299: 24.4.50; `C-h f' for alias is wrong
Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2014 08:15:28 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ff770037-b42d-45ba-8208-dfdb16b14884@default> (raw)
emacs -Q
(defun rn (prompt &optional default) (message "RN"))
(defalias 'read-number 'rn)
C-h f read-number
,----
| read-number is an alias for `rn' in `subr.el'.
|
| (read-number PROMPT &optional DEFAULT)
|
| Not documented.
`----
It is incorrect to refer to `subr.el' at all. There is nothing in
`subr.el' that is related to the current definition of `read-number'.
This misleads users. Better not to send users anywhere than to send
them to the wrong definition of the function.
