Sorry, I didn't see your patch.
And what about an opinion on the rest of the patch I proposed in
Message-ID: <address@hidden> ?
A link to the archives would be helpful.
I'm a little confused about that difference between what is a user
variable in the doc and what it is regarding user-variable-p.
I'm not sure what doc are you referring to. In the "Defining Global
Variables" node I see this:
If the variable is a user option that users would want to set
interactively, you should use `*' as the first character of
DOC-STRING. This lets users set the variable conveniently using
the `set-variable' command. Note that you should nearly always
use `defcustom' instead of `defvar' to define these variables, so
that users can use `M-x customize' and related commands to set
them.
I don't see contradiction. Note that you are *not* forced to use
defcustom, so "*docstring" is still relevant. The "*" is only obsolete
in defcustom's docstrings. In my .emacs, for example, I define
variables that sometimes I want to change with M-x set-variable; but
certainly I don't want to use the customize stuff for them.
