No it's not documented (definitely not clearly and not enough, which is really the same as not at all), see my bug report. > But I disagree with you to consider this a *bug*, as it > *is* documented and it is logistically impossible to change > Emacs' behaviour in this regard without assessing whether > this breaks potentially quazillions lines of code. And I > don't think that the developers consider it a bug either. That's ridiculous. Are you saying that making _backward_ regexp search _really_ do backward, not forward matching is going to break "quazillions lines of code"? Not that I really care, but I very much doubt that. What's much more likely is that it would _fix_ both known and unknown breakages and unexpected behaviours, such as the one that started this thread. Anyway, if you want to continue arguing about this please use the bug thread. -- Štěpán _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
