I have added define-obsolete-function-alias to byte-run.el I have not provided documentation because I would like guidance: Me> These two functions are so similar to the two that I've just documented, Me> externally at least, that I wonder if they could be described somewhere Me> centrally in the Lisp manual i.e a link from the nodes 'Defining Me> Variables' and 'Defining Functions'to one called 'Obsoletion'. The current documentation for these related functions uses different argument names which I think is confusing: Manual: - Function: defvaralias alias-var base-var &optional docstring Documentation string: (defvaralias symbol aliased &optional docstring) Shall I change these to Manual: - Function: defvaralias variable new &optional docstring Documentation string: (defvaralias variable new &optional docstring) for consistency with make-obsolete-variable, define-obsolete-variable-alias? The manual says: `string-to-int' is an obsolete alias for this function. (string-to-number) but string-to-int has not been made obsolete. Some variables/functions have been obsolete since 19.15. Is now a good time to purge them? Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
