make-symbolic link uses NEWNAME in its docstring, but LINKNAME as the
argument name:
(make-symbolic-link TARGET LINKNAME &optional OK-IF-ALREADY-EXISTS)
Make a symbolic link to TARGET, named NEWNAME.
If NEWNAME is a directory name, make a like-named symbolic link under
NEWNAME.
[etc...]
The easiest way to fix it is to change NEWNAME to LINKNAME in the
docstring, but I think NEWNAME is the preferred name, and it is also
used in the info files.
The alternative is to change linkname to newname in the code, and
encoded_linkname to encoded_newname (not required, but for
consistency).
It is a trivial change, but as it touches code in 26.2.50, better safe
than sorry. So, newname everywhere, or linkname everywhere (including
the info files)?
