In its current form, a caller of while-no-input cannot differentiate between BODY returning nil as a normal return value or BODY being interrupted. Furthermore, caller cannot know if BODY was interrupted by input or C-g. As I need to differentiate between all three cases in ido, I had to use throw-on-input directly. For that reason, I think we should either document throw-on-input (and keep its name), or [better] change while-no-input to return 'quit for C-g, 'input-pending-p for input, and value of BODY otherwise. -- Kim F.
