`browse-web' is the alias for `eww'.
That's a good, natural name. However, the Emacs manual mentions
`eww', not `browse-web'. I think that is a bug and needs to be
fixed.
The manual section on EWW says that itcan be one of the browsers used
by `browse-url'. In effect, `browse-url' is an instance of the sort
of feature that `define-alternative' defines.
Perhaps we should set it up to ask the user, as if it were defined
with `define-alternative'.
Perhaps `eww' should be the default. (Should it be the default?)
Perhaps the manual should document only `browse-url', not the
internals of the various alternatives.
I am not sure what is best, since I don't use those features. But I
am sure we should get the user interface maximally simplified before
the release. What do people think is best?
