Ok, I have a patch using `nth' instead.
WRT the upper/lower-case issue, what should I do with variables or
functions which have a NEW string (as opossed to a NEW function/variable)
starting with lowercase, not ending with a stop, or otherwise
non-normalized? Normalize them?
Currently they are:
- Variables:
inhibit-local-variables
unread-command-char
unread-command-event
before-change-function
after-change-function
post-command-idle-hook
post-command-idle-delay
- Functions:
frame-update-faces (no stop)
char-bytes (no stop)
baud-rate
string-to-sequence (no stop)
`move-to-column-force' (from rect.el) is an exception because its
docstring already says that the function is obsolete, and the
make-obsolete declaration is wrong (it is passing as a NEW a string
instead of a symbol, but the string is just the name of a function).
So, what I propose is:
1.- Installing the patch so describe-function shows the obsolescent
information too like describe-variable does now.
2.- Changing the "not documented" strings from those functions and
`describe-face' to "Not documented".
3.- Normalizing the NEW strings currently passed to `make-obsolete' and
`make-obsolete-variable'.
4.- Remove the obsolescence information from `move-to-column-force's
docstring and fixing its make-obsolete declaration.
It is OK to proceed?
