  "Create and initialize a new specifier.

This is a front-end onto `make-specifier' that allows you to create a
specifier and add specs to it at the same time.  TYPE specifies the
specifier type.  SPEC-LIST supplies the specification(s) to be added
to the specifier. Normally, almost any reasonable abbreviation of the
full spec-list form is accepted, and is converted to the full form;
however, if optional argument DONT-CANONICALIZE is non-nil, this
conversion is not performed, and the SPEC-LIST must already be in full
form.  See `canonicalize-spec-list'."

(defun set-specifier (specifier value &optional locale tag-set how-to-add)
  "Add a specification or specifications to SPECIFIER.

This function adds a specification of VALUE in locale LOCALE.
LOCALE indicates where this specification is active, and should be
a buffer, a window, a frame, a device, or the symbol `global' to
indicate that it applies everywhere.  LOCALE usually defaults to
`global' if omitted.

VALUE is usually what is called an \"instantiator\" (which, roughly
speaking, corresponds to the \"value\" of the property governed by
SPECIFIER).  The valid instantiators for SPECIFIER depend on the type
of SPECIFIER (which you can determine using `specifier-type').  The
specifier `scrollbar-width', for example, is of type `integer',
meaning its valid instantiators are integers.  The specifier governing
the background color of the `default' face (you can retrieve this
specifier using `(face-background 'default)') is of type `color',
meaning its valid instantiators are strings naming colors and
color-instance objects.  For some types of specifiers, such as `image'
and `toolbar', the instantiators can be very complex.  Generally this
is documented in the appropriate creation function --
e.g. `make-color-specifier', `make-font-specifier',
`make-image-specifier' -- or in the global variable holding the most
common specifier for that type (`default-toolbar', `default-gutter',
`current-display-table').

NOTE: It does *not* work to give a VALUE of nil as a way of removing the
specifications for a locale -- for many specifier types, such as `boolean',
nil is a perfectly legitimate value to set.  Use `remove-specifier'
instead. (And keep in mind that, if you omit the LOCALE argument to
`remove-specifier', it removes *all* specifications!  If you want to remove
just the `global' specification, make sure to specify a LOCALE of
`global'.)

VALUE can also be a list of instantiators.  This means basically,
\"try each one in turn until you get one that works\".  This allows
you to give funky instantiators that may only work in some cases,
and provide more normal backups for the other cases. (For example,
you might like the color \"darkseagreen2\", but some X servers
don't recognize this color, so you could provide a backup
\"forest green\".  Color TTY devices probably won't recognize this
either, so you could provide a second backup \"green\".  You'd
do this by specifying this list of instantiators:

'(\"darkseagreen2\" \"forest green\" \"green\")

VALUE can also be various more complicated forms; see below.

Optional argument TAG-SET is a tag or a list of tags, to be associated
with the VALUE.  Tags are symbols (usually naming device types, such
as `x' and `tty', or device classes, such as `color', `mono', and
`grayscale'); specifying a TAG-SET restricts the scope of VALUE to
devices that match all specified tags. (You can also create your
own tags using `define-specifier-tag', and use them to identify
specifications added by you, so you can remove them later.)

Optional argument HOW-TO-ADD should be either nil or one of the
symbols `prepend', `append', `remove-tag-set-prepend',
`remove-tag-set-append', `remove-locale', `remove-locale-type',
or `remove-all'.  This specifies what to do with existing
specifications in LOCALE (and possibly elsewhere in the specifier).
Most of the time, you do not need to worry about this argument;
the default behavior of `remove-tag-set-prepend' is usually fine.
See `copy-specifier' and `add-spec-to-specifier' for a full
description of what each of these means.

\[VALUE can actually be anything acceptable to `canonicalize-spec-list';
this includes, among other things:

-- a cons of a locale and an instantiator (or list of instantiators)
-- a cons of a tag or tag-set and an instantiator (or list of
   instantiators)
-- a cons of a locale and the previous type of item
-- a list of one or more of any of the previous types of items

However, this usage is deprecated.  Either iterate and call `set-specifier'
multiple times, or use the lower-level `add-spec-list-to-specifier'.  Also,
in these cases, you cannot give a LOCALE or TAG-SET, because they do not
make sense. (You will probably get an error if you try this.)]

Finally, VALUE can itself be a specifier (of the same type as
SPECIFIER), if you want to copy specifications from one specifier
to another; this is equivalent to calling `copy-specifier', and
LOCALE, TAG-SET, and HOW-TO-ADD have the same semantics as with
that function.

Note that `set-specifier' is exactly complementary to `specifier-specs'
except in the case where SPECIFIER has no specs at all in it but nil
is a valid instantiator (in that case, `specifier-specs' will return
nil (meaning no specs) and `set-specifier' will interpret the `nil'
as meaning \"I'm adding a global instantiator and its value is `nil'\"),
or in strange cases where there is an ambiguity between a spec-list
and an inst-list, etc. (The built-in specifier types are designed
in such a way as to avoid any such ambiguities.)

NOTE: If you want to work with spec-lists, you should probably not
use either `set-specifier' or `specifier-specs', but should use the
lower-level functions `add-spec-list-to-specifier' and `specifier-spec-list'.
These functions always work with fully-qualified spec-lists; thus, there
is no possibility for ambiguity and no need to go through the function
`canonicalize-spec-list', which is potentially time-consuming."

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;;; "Heuristic" is a euphemism for kludge.  This stuff works well in
;;; practice, though.

;;; You might view all the contortions we do here and in Face-frob-property
;;; as indicative of design failures with specifiers, and perhaps you're
;;; right.  But in fact almost all code that attempts to interface to
;;; humans and produce "intuitive" results gets messy, particularly with a
;;; system as complicated as specifiers, whose complexity results from an
;;; attempt to work well in many different circumstances.  We could create
;;; a much simpler system, but the tradeoff would be that you'd have to
;;; programmatically control all the stuff that gets handled automatically
;;; by setting the right specifiers -- and then things wouldn't "just work"
;;; if the user simultaneously creates a TTY and X device, or X devices on
;;; different types of machines, or wants some buffers to display
;;; differently from others, etc. without a lot of hook functions and other
;;; glue machinery to set everything up.  The result would be just as much
;;; complexity, but worse, and much harder to control, since there wouldn't
;;; be any standard framework for managing all these hook functions and the
;;; user would have to be able to write lots of Lisp code to get things
;;; working.

;;; The problem is that we have no high-level code, e.g. custom, to make it
;;; easy for the user to control specifiers nicely.  The following
;;; lower-level code, though, should make it easier to implement the
;;; high-level code.

;;; #### Something like Face-frob-property, but more general, should be
;;; created for general specifier frobbing.

;;; #### Other possible extensions to specifiers would be
;;;
;;; (a) the ability to create specifications for particular types of
;;;     buffers, e.g. all C-mode buffers one way, all text-mode buffers
;;;     another way, etc.  Perhaps this should be implemented through hook
;;;     functions; but that wouldn't easily allow you to `make-face-bold'
;;;     and have it work on these other kinds of specifications.  Probably
;;;     a better way is to extend the tag mechanism so that it can specify
;;;     things other than device types.  One way would be to simply allow
;;;     tags to have arbitrary elisp attached to them -- a function that
;;;     takes a domain and returns whether the attached instantiator
;;;     applies.  This should be doable given (a) that we now have code to
;;;     allow elisp to be run inside a "sandbox", sufficiently protected
;;;     that it can even be called from redisplay, and (b) the large amount
;;;     of caching we already have, which would minimize the speed hit.
;;;     However, this still runs into problems -- (a) it requires
;;;     programming to get anything at all done, and (b) you'll get
;;;     horrible namespace clashes very quickly.  Another possibility to be
;;;     used in conjunction with this would be vector tags, with an
;;;     extendable mechanism to control their syntax.  For example,
;;;
;;;     [tag :mode 'c] (buffer in c-mode)
;;;     [tag :buffer-name "\\*Help: function"] (help-on-function buffers)
;;;     [tag :buffer-coding-system 'japanese-euc] (buffer's coding system is
;;;	     		                   EUC-JP)
;;;     [tag :buffer-file-name "^#.*#$"] (autosave files)
;;;     [tag :language-environment "French"] (whenever the global language
;;;                                           environment is French)
;;;     [tag :font-height-minimum '(default 12)] (if the height of the default
;;;						  font is at least 12 pixels
;;;						  in this domain)
;;;                                                         
;;;     The general idea is that the properties allowable in a tag vector
;;;     are extendable, just by specifying the property name and a function
;;;     of two arguments, the property value and the domain, which should
;;;     return whether the tag applies.  You could imagine very complex
;;;     behavior (e.g. combining two tags in a single tag set makes an
;;;     `and', and putting the two tags separately with separate (perhaps
;;;     identical) instantiators makes an `or'.  You could effectively do a
;;;     lot of what you might want to do with hooks, but in a much more
;;;     controllable fashion.  Obviously, much of this complexity wouldn't
;;;     necessarily be directly set by the user -- they wouldn't probably
;;;     do more than simple tags based on mode, buffer or file name, etc.
;;;     But a higher-level interface could easily have various possible
;;;     "behaviors" to choose from, implemented using this mechanism.
;;;
;;;     #### WE NEED CUSTOM SUPPORT!
;;;
;;; (b) Another possibility is "partial" inheritance.  For example --
;;;     toolbars and menubars are complex specifications.  Currently the
;;;     only way to make a change is to copy the entire value and make the
;;;     necessary modifications.  What we would like instead is to be able
;;;     to construct a mini-menubar that says something like "add this menu
;;;     here" and combine with everything else.  That would require a
;;;     slightly different approach to instantiation.  Currently it just
;;;     searches up the tree from specific to general, looking for a match;
;;;     from this match, it generates the instance.  Instead, it would
;;;     potentially have to record all the matches it found and pass a list
;;;     of them to the instantiation function.  To implement this, we would
;;;     create another specifier method "instantiator_inherits_up", which
;;;     looks at the instantiator to determine if it calls for combining
;;;     itself with the value higher up.  this tells the specifier code
;;;     whether to stop now or keep going.  It would then pass a Dynarr of
;;;     the instantiators to the instantiate method, which might be a
;;;     special version, e.g. "instantiate_multi".

  "Given a locale, try to derive the \"most reasonable\" domain.

This is a heuristic \(\"works most of the time\") algorithm.

\[Remember that, in specifiers, locales are what you attach specifications or
\"instantiators\" to, and domains are the contexts in which you can
retrieve the value or \"instance\" of the specifier.  Not all locales are
domains.  In particular, buffers are locales but not domains because
buffers may be displayed in different windows on different frames, and thus
end up with different values if the frames each have a frame-local
instantiator and the instantiators are different.  However, we may well
find ourselves in a situation where we want to figure out the most likely
value of a specifier in a buffer -- for example we might conceptually want
to make a buffer's modeline face be bold, so we need to figure out what the
current face is.  If the buffer already has an instantiator, it's easy; but
if it doesn't, we want to do something reasonable rather than just issue an
error, even though technically the value is not well-defined.  We want
something that gives the right answer most of the time.]

LOCALE is a specifier locale -- i.e. a buffer, window, frame, device, the
symbol `global', or nil, meaning the same as `global'.

DEVTYPE-SPEC, if given, can restrict the possible return values to domains
on devices of that device type; or if it's `window-system', to domains on
window-system devices.

CURRENT-DEVICE is what should be considered as the \"selected device\" when
this value is needed.  It defaults to the currently selected device.

-- If LOCALE is a domain, it's simply returned.
-- If LOCALE is `all', `global', or nil, we return CURRENT-DEVICE.
-- If LOCALE is a buffer, we use `get-buffer-window' to find a window viewing
   the buffer, and return it if there is one; otherwise we return the selected
   window on CURRENT-DEVICE.
