Package: apel
Version: 10.6+0.20040418-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
Emacs-ist for two years or so, I've often been disturbed by mysterious
"Invalid character: 020031, 8217, 0x2019" errors while working.
Especially, I wasn't able to use nnrss backend in Gnus, that fetches
and converts RSS streams in Gnus articles. Now I know what makes it
fail:
/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/apel/poem.el:82:
(defalias-maybe 'char-or-char-int-p 'integerp)
As APEL is loaded from /etc/emacs/site-start.d/ with rank 20 (quite
normal for a library on which other stuff will rely),
char-or-char-int-p is always bound to integerp. Gnus' nnrss.el uses
Gnus' mm-util.el, in which char-or-char-int-p is used if it exists
(char-valid-p otherwise). But with APEL loaded, char-or-char-int-p
isn't reliable anymore...
E.g., the following sexp reproduces above error:
(message "Char 8217: %c"
(if (char-or-char-int-p 8217) 8217))
I'm afraid other errors could occur with such defalias-maybe macros
loaded from poem.el (characterp, ...). Wouldn't it be possible to
bind those predicates more precisely, or to prefix them with poem-?
Besides, why poem is loaded in case mule-ucs is available (rank 40 in
site-start.d)?
Best regards,
