The code does this:
;; String without properties
((and (stringp value)
(equal-including-properties value (substring-no-properties value))))
1. Doesn't this do the same thing as that `equal-including-properties'
test:
(and (null (text-properties-at 0 value))
(= 0 (next-property-change 0 value)))
If it does do the same thing, is it more efficient or less?
(The reason I ask whether it does the same thing is for use in an
older Emacs release where the functions in the original test are
not available.)
2. Is it really necessary to exclude all text properties from a printed
string in order for it to be Lisp-readable? If not, can we improve
this code so it is not unnecessarily restrictive?
I'm guessing that for #2 the answer is yes, it is necessary, because a
text property can have any Lisp value, including a circular list value,
but it's not clear to me what the problems are.
