And, I've just noticed that the docstring says that RANGE
may be a coding system, but the code doesn't handle it. The
only meaningful interpretation of RANGE being a coding
system is to treat all characters supported by the coding
system as target. But, I think we don't have to support
such a facility. So, I suggest to delete that part from the
docstring.
Actually the docstring of `set-char-table-range' says:
Set the value in CHAR-TABLE for a range of characters RANGE to VALUE.
RANGE should be t (for all characters), nil (for the default value)
a vector which identifies a character set or a row of a character set,
a coding system, or a character code.
Note that it not only wrongly mentions "coding system", but also fails
to mention "character set" (as such, that is, a symbol). Maybe the
docstring should say:
Set the value in CHAR-TABLE for a range of characters RANGE to VALUE.
RANGE should be t (for all characters), nil (for the default value),
a character set, a vector which identifies a character set or a row of
a character set, or a character code. Return VALUE.
Sincerely,
Luc.
