Hi,

This is my old patch for Eldoc mode, which I recovered.  I also made
some improvements.  I hope now that 22.1 is finally out, this patch
won't be delayed.

Briefly, it highlights the current argument in Eldoc mode with bold
text.  So, if you write `(> 2' it will print `>: (NUM1 NUM2)' with
`NUM1' in bold.  If you now put a space, it will highlight `NUM2'
instead.  If you start a third arg, it will remove boldness and
highlight the closing paren in `font-lock-warning-face'.

Paul

Thanks for posting the patch.  Would people please try it
and report any problems?

In a week, if nobody has reported problems, would someone
please install this?

(Paul, if nobody installs it then, please ping us.)

I backed out my patch and tried this one for a bit.  It seems to work
a bit more nicely.  I like it.  I haven't run into any problems
(though to be clear I have not used it very long -- I just spot
checked it on various cases I looked at when writing my variant).

I get this error occasionally:

eldoc error: (wrong-number-of-arguments (lambda (sym argument-index) (let ((args nil) (doc nil)) (cond ((not (and sym (symbolp sym) (fboundp sym)))) ((and (eq sym (aref eldoc-last-data 0)) (eq (quote function) (aref eldoc-last-data 2))) (setq args (aref eldoc-last-data 1))) ((setq doc (help-split-fundoc (documentation sym t) sym)) (setq args (car doc)) (string-match \`[^ )]* ? args) (setq args (concat ( (substring args (match-end 0)))) (eldoc-last-data-store sym args (quote function))) (t (setq args (eldoc-function-argstring sym)))) (when args (setq doc (eldoc-highlight-function-argument sym args argument-index))) doc)) 0)


To see this, open gnus/mm-view.el and search for "defcustom".  Put
point in the docstring and wait.  This reliably shows the error for
me.
