Be more careful still in #'cl-defsubst-expand. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2011-09-11 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * cl-macs.el (cl-defsubst-expand): Be more careful still here, make sure that any references to variables in BODY don't access those values in the enclosing scope when that would be inappropriate. Add some documentation of a potential reasonable approach to avoiding the problems with our (non-Common Lisp-conformant) #'symbol-macrolet.

@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.
