Of course, but there is no reason why this information cannot be split across several manuals and having the CL parts be documented by respectively the CL standard (eg. the hyperspec) and whatever other documentation exists for the CL implementation chosen to host emacs. The documentation must be accessible but this is not the same as the emacs maintainers need to (re)write all of it nor that it necessarily must be put into one particular (already somewhat unwieldy) document. ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | christian #\@ defun #\. dk ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - petonic@hal.com (Michael A.
