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).

@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.
