Re: interactive?

[alin.s]

I see now. one can check whether an object is interactive using commandp.
For example, to check whether a lambda-expression is interactive, it does
exactly as we know: it checks the cadr after the argument list, and compare
with the symbol 'interactive, etc.

  /* Lists may represent commands.  */
  if (!CONSP (fun))
    return Qnil;
  funcar = XCAR (fun);
  if (EQ (funcar, Qlambda))
    return !NILP (Fassq (Qinteractive, Fcdr (XCDR (fun)))) ? Qt : if_prop;

And DEFUN(interactive) is Qnil means that if an object is defined
interactive, that means nothing unless checked using commandp.


This is what I did understand, thank you.
