RE: move-beginning-of-line

[Drew Adams]

        1. I don't see `move-beginning-of-line' documented in the Emacs-Lisp
           manual or mentioned in NEWS. Shouldn't it be?

    It would be inefficient to duplicate in the Lisp manual all the
    user-level commands that are in the Emacs Manual.  As for NEWS,
    this is not a new feature, it is a bug fix.

        2. `C-a' is bound to `move-beginning-of-line', but <home>
    is bound to
           `beginning-of-line'. Is this intentional?

    That would be a bug, but in the latest sources <home> is bound to
    move-beginning-of-line.

        3. I don't see <home> documented in the Emacs manual (for
           `beginning-of-line' or `move-beginning-of-line'). Shouldn't it be
           mentioned?

    I don't see why.  We made <home> do what people might expect,
    but there is no reason to document it.

If #2 is fixed, that's all that is important.

The only reasons for #1 (NEWS) might be for people who are 1) accustomed to
expecting `beginning-of-line' in place of `move-*' or 2) using it in Lisp
code (it is not just a user-level command, but is also common in Lisp code).
It might be good to let programmers know about it.
