format-spec has been present in Emacs since version 21.1, specifically c113de23613 (2000-09-19). (Some parameters have been added since then, but you only use FORMAT and SPECIFICATION in your patch.) Here's a test with Emacs 25, Notmuch's current minimum (if I grep correctly): (emacs-version) ; => "GNU Emacs 25.3.50.1 ..." (require 'format-spec) (format-spec "%b" '((?b . "fine"))) ; => "fine" At first I thought you were getting confused by the fact that format-spec has been marked as autoloaded only recently, but it looks like that was in 0185d76e742 (Fix and extend format-spec (bug#41758), 2020-06-18), which will be part of the 28.1 release. So that's not consistent with "introduced in emacs 27". _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
