It shouldn't be necessary to grep the source, if these things would |
| 18 |
follow a simple logical rule, in accordance with the principle of least |
| 19 |
surprise. It would be handy to be able to say: all e* functions die, but |
| 20 |
do* and new* do not. But tommy's list shows that emake is an exception |
| 21 |
to the rule. I'm not aware of any other exceptions, but I can't be sure |
| 22 |
unless I go digging through the source. Which really should not be |
| 23 |
necessary, in my opinion. |
