Re: Text property searching

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

I've done some testing.

(progn
  (insert "foo bar zot")
  (put-text-property 2 3 'face nil)
  (put-text-property 5 6 'face 'bold)
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (goto-char (next-single-property-change (point) 'face)))

This goes to 5, not to 2, so `next-single-property-change' doesn't seem
to consider a nil value to be different from a missing value, either.

So I think it might make sense to just leave that complication out of
this function, because it's rather obscure (categories and stuff that
sounds way too complicate :-)).
