bug#10724: 24.0.93; doc of `typecase'

[Drew Adams]

The doc string does not meet Emacs standards.  The arguments are not
described.
 
Nothing is said about what EXPR, TYPE or BODY can be.  BODY is
excusable; the others are not.

We must state that EXPR is any Emacs-Lisp sexp (if that is the case).
 
And we must state that TYPE is an emacs-lisp type name, as a symbol (if
that is the case).  But that's not sufficient, since there is not just a
single list of such type names.
 
There are at least the following that a reader might understand for
TYPE when reading this doc:
 
1. the simple-type names for Customize
2. type predicates
3. programming types ((elisp) Programming Types)
4. editing types ((elisp) Editing Types)
 
For the last two (#3 and #4), which are probably what is meant here,
what symbols (is TYPE a symbol?) are recognized for those types by
`typecase'?
 
You cannot program using `typecase' without knowing this stuff.  And
though Emacs Lisp's `typecase' presumably corresponds somewhat to Common
Lisp's, it is not at all obvious just what values of TYPE are supported
by Emacs Lisp.
