$ git remote -v

I got it now, as when I did last git pull, it asked me to stash, I
stashed it, and forgot to make new git pull.
Now I can see:
(defal TYPE LINK-EXPR &optional DOC)
(defal hyperscope 'hyperscope) ⇒ ibtypes::hyperscope, very easy
<hyperscope 29>
(defun what-do-i-get? (something)
(message "%s" something))
(defal what-is-this 'what-do-i-get?) ⇒ ibtypes::what-is-this
<what-is-this Something here and more than here>
I can see "Something here and more than here" as the message.
It works great. I can add to the function some highlight-regexp that
it shows itself more visually.
What would be good is to replace the separators "<" and ">" easily, as
they are too common. I like ⟦ ⟧ and there are many other different
brackets. 〈 〉 and ❰ ❱ and ⦃ ⦄ and ⦑ ⦒ and ⟪ ⟫ and several other
interesting brackets. I find those way more usable in the text as they
are not common.
I am also observing that white space is not allowed:
<what-is-this HERE> yields with "HERE"
< what-is-this HERE> yields with "what-is-this HERE" and I think it
should not.
It is not hard to use such brackets with these functions:
(defun rcd-enclose-region (open close)
"Embrace region with OPEN and CLOSE."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (region-beginning))
(insert open))
(insert close))
(defvar rcd-enclose-region-ask-history nil)
(defun rcd-enclose-region-ask (open close)
"If there is no region it will ask for input."
(interactive)
(if (region-active-p)
(rcd-enclose-region open close)
(let* ((prompt (format "%sEnter input%s: " open close))
(word (read-from-minibuffer prompt nil nil nil
'rcd-enclose-region-ask-history nil t)))
(insert open)
(insert word)
(insert close))))
(defun rcd-bracket-region-heavy-angle-bracket-ornaments (beg and)
(interactive "r")
(rcd-enclose-region-ask "❰" "❱"))
(defun rcd-html-strong ()
(interactive)
(rcd-enclose-region-ask "<strong>" "</strong>"))
Then I can mark a region and invoke a key to enclose it with whatever
opening and closing snippets.
Or maybe already exists the way to change the brackets?
