fix so that CL docstrings (with &key, etc.) handled properly
-------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: --------------------
lisp/ChangeLog addition:
2010-02-23 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org>
* autoload.el:
* autoload.el (make-autoload):
* cl-macs.el (cl-function-arglist):
* cl-macs.el (cl-transform-lambda):
Don't add argument list with the tag "Common Lisp lambda list:";
instead add in "standard" form using "arguments:" and omitting the
function name. Add an arg to `cl-function-arglist' to omit the
name and use it in autoload.el instead of just hacking it off.
* help.el:
* help.el (function-arglist):
* help.el (function-documentation-1): New.
Extract out common code to recognize and/or strip the arglist from
documentation into `function-documentation-1'. Use in
`function-arglist' and `function-documentation'. Modify
`function-arglist' so it looks for the `arguments: ' stuff in all
doc strings, not just subrs/autoloads, so that CL functions get
recognized properly. Change the regexp used to match "arguments: "
specs to allow nested parens inside the arg list (happens when you
have a default value specified in a CL arglist).

12 Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming | |
13 language called XEmacs Lisp. You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and | |
14 install it as an extension to the editor. However, XEmacs Lisp is more | |
15 than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming | |
16 language in its own right. You can use it as you would any other | |
17 programming language. | |
18 | |
19 Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special | |
20 features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling | |
21 files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. XEmacs Lisp is | |
22 closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands | |
23 are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs, | |
24 and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables. | |
25 | |
26 This manual describes XEmacs Lisp. Generally speaking, the earlier | |
27 chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in | |
28 many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that | |
29 are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing. | |
