Re: look-ahead -> lookahead

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks.  I installed the following minor fixups for that.

2006-06-11  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: Reword the post-2.3 change to not be so optimistic about
        removing the old "look-ahead" spelling.
        Update previous look-ahead/lookahead change reports.
        * REFERENCES: look-ahead -> lookahead (since that's
        what he actually wrote).
        * doc/refcard.tex: look ahead -> lookahead,
        look-ahead -> lookahead
