> There's a bug in `recentf-include-p' that could cause losing all entries
> in recentf-list. When a predicate in `recentf-exclude' errs,
> `recentf-include-p' returns nil and thus causes an corresponding entry
> to be removed. My entire recentf-list (500ish entries) has been damaged
> because of this and before I found out the data saved has already been
> overwritten.

> I think recentf-include-p should not silently ignore an error from any
> predicates in recentf-exclude because an error signals a bug in the
> predicate itself.
