Subject: bug#31676: 27.0.50; More helpful error message for unescaped character literals
Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2018 12:18:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m38t7yq07d.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
A reddit user noted these messages popping up when starting Emacs
Loading ‘~/.emacs.d/init’: unescaped character literals `?[', `?]' detected!
and wondered what to do about it. Perhaps it would be a good idea to
just say something like
unescaped character literals `?[', `?]' detected, `?\[', `?\]' expected
or something along those lines? For Emacs 26.2.
In GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 20, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.11)
