Subject: Remove * characters from the front of variable docstrings
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:08:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <p0bome9xik.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
I was glad to see the "*" chars finally disappearing in trunk r107813.
However, hasn't some information been lost in the process?
For example, in emacs-24 there is:
(defvar texinfo-column-for-description 32
"*Column at which descriptions start in a Texinfo menu.")
So, this is something I might want to change.
In trunk, it has no *, so there's no indication it is something I might
want to change.
Shouldn't it (and other defvars with *s) have been converted to defcustoms?
