Which most people will not get to see until you manage to write some
documentation for `vertical-scroll-bar' as well. Even after that,
manuals could remain stale for ages because somebody once again forgot
an address@hidden defvar", forgot to double up an `@' in an email address or
whatever. Worse, more xrefs pointing nowhere could be deliberately
introduced.
In as far as `vertical-scroll-bar' is concerned, this and the related
`default-vertical-scroll-bar' where introduced by Kim Storm on
2003-05-24. Grepping through the sources, I see all the things
necessary for _definition_. I could not find any evidence of
implementation, although there were so many false hits that I might
have overlooked something. The docstring for `vertical-scroll-bar' is
definitely completely wrong.
I was told that Kim was writing documentation for `line-spacing' (but
not for `vertical-scroll-bar'). I would guess that probably Kim knows
what the deal with `vertical-scroll-bar' is.
Sincerely,
Luc.
