[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit 354c4a9885db314a4bd8a11cd6f11badef7b07f3
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    electric-quote-chars fixups
    
    * lisp/electric.el (electric-quote-chars): Check types and safety
    more carefully.
    (electric-quote-post-self-insert-function): Use more-mnemonic locals.
    Omit no-longer-necessary runtime error diagnostic.
