25.0.50; document #: in Elisp manual |
Date: |
Wed, 5 Nov 2014 08:43:50 -0800 (PST) |
`#:' should be documented properly in the Elisp manual. There are just
a few in-passing references to it, which do not explain it.
The Lisp reader should be documented well, from a user point of view,
with everything affecting it explained - preferably in one place.
That includes `#<', `#:', `#N=', `#N#', address@hidden', `#$', `#.', comments,
number syntax (including non-10 radix), \-escaped newlines and spaces,
hash tables.

The index entry is already there, but it cannot be #: because Info
cannot cope with a colon in a menu, and index in Info is just a large
menu. So in Info we use "#COLON instead (we do use #: in the printed
manual).
