Oops, sorry for the wrong warning.  I checked it by:
% cd lisp
% cvs annotate files.el |cat -n -|less
then found these lines:

  1008  1.437        (rms      03-Jan-99):        (if (null files)
  1009  1.505        (spiegel  04-Oct-00):            (find-file-noselect filena
me)
  1010  1.505        (spiegel  04-Oct-00):          (car (mapcar #'find-file-nos
elect files))))
  1011  1.430        (rms      16-Oct-98):       (let* ((buf (get-file-buffer fi
then checked the diff between 1.504 and 1.505.

I agree.  But, I don't know how to do that.
