Fix style, documentation for rounding functions and multiple values. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-08-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * floatfns.c (ceiling_one_mundane_arg, floor_one_mundane_arg) (round_one_mundane_arg, truncate_one_mundane_arg): INTEGERP is always available, no need to wrap calls to it with #ifdef HAVE_BIGNUM. (Fceiling, Ffloor, Fround, Ftruncate, Ffceiling, Fffloor) (Ffround, Fftruncate): Correct some code formatting here. * doprnt.c (emacs_doprnt_1): Remove some needless #ifdef WITH_NUMBER_TYPES, now number.h is always #included. man/ChangeLog addition: 2010-08-30 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * lispref/eval.texi (Evaluation, Multiple values): Document our implementation of multiple values; point the reader to the CLTL or the Hyperspec for details of exactly when values are discarded. * lispref/numbers.texi (Numeric Conversions): Document the optional DIVISOR arguments to the rounding functions, and document that they all return multiple values. (Rounding Operations): Ditto. * cl.texi (Multiple Values): Document that we've moved the multiple values implementation to core code, and cross-reference to the Lispref. (Numerical Functions): The various rounding functions are now identical to the built-in rounding functions, with the exception that they return lists, not multiple values; document this.

@quotation
  Most of the XEmacs text editor is written in the programming
language called XEmacs Lisp.  You can write new code in XEmacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, XEmacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because XEmacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  XEmacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes XEmacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of XEmacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to XEmacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
