trivial bug in eintr

[Ralph Moritz]

Hello Emacs,

edition 2.14 of the Emacs Lisp Introduction (eintr) says the
following in section 7.5 (Node: setcar),

 ...
      (setq animals '(antelope giraffe lion tiger))
 ...
      (setcar animals 'hippopotamus)
 ...
      animals
           => (hippopotamus giraffe lion tiger)

 The first element on the list, `antelope' is replaced by `hippopotamus'.

    So we can see that `setcar' did not add a new element to the list as
 `cons' would have; it replaced `giraffe' with `hippopotamus'; it
 _changed_ the list.

I believe that `giraffe' should be changed to `antelope' in the last
paragraph, above.

Regards,
Ralph
