* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Generalized Variables): New section,
adapted from misc/cl.texi.
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi (Top): Add Generalized Variables to menu.
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (List Elements, List Variables):
Mention generalized variables.
* doc/misc/cl.texi (Control Structure): Update for setf now being in core.
(Setf Extensions): Rename from Basic Setf. Move much of the
former content to lispref/variables.texi.
(Modify Macros): Move pop, push details to lispref/variables.texi.
(Customizing Setf): Copyedits for setf etc being in core.

* doc/lispref/intro.texi (A Sample Function Description): Fix incorrect
markup, undoing previous change.

improvements.
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi (Top):
* doc/lispref/text.texi (Text): Fix menu order.
* vol1.texi, vol2.texi: Remove files.
* elisp.texi: Add VOL1,2 conditionals equivalent to vol1,2.texi
* two-volume.make: Use elisp.texi as input rather than vol1,2.texi.
vol1.texi and vol2.texi are only used to generate TeX output, and this
constructs its own table of contents and does not use the @menu stuff.
* vol1.texi, vol2.texi: No need to keep menus in these files.
* elisp.texi, anti.texi: Comments.
Frankly, I think the edition conveys little to no information.
The version number of Emacs is much more relevant.
No-one seems to know what the rules are for updating the edition anyway...
* doc/emacs/emacs.texi (@copying): Only print EDITION in the TeX version.
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi (@copying):
* doc/lispref/intro.texi (Introduction): Only print VERSION in the TeX version.
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi, doc/lispref/vol1.texi, doc/lispref/vol2.texi:
Some fixes for detailed menu.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Major Modes, Auto-Indentation):
* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Buffers): Some fixes for menu descriptions.
This seems only fair, since there have been a large number of
contributors since the original ones.
* doc/emacs/emacs.texi:
* doc/lispref/book-spine.texi, doc/lispref/elisp.texi, doc/lispref/vol1.texi:

Add "et al." to authors.
* doc/lispref/elisp.texi, doc/lispref/vol1.texi, doc/lispref/vol2.texi:
Bump VERSION and DATE (in case we forgoet to do it later).
I don't know what VERSION means, but it should be bigger than before.

"window frame" terminology.
(Frame Parameters, Font and Color Parameters, Initial Parameters)

(Initial Parameters): --geometry is not the only option which adds
to initial-frame-alist.
(Position Parameters): Note that icon-left and icon-top are for
old window managers only.
(Size Parameters): Sizes are in characters even on graphical
displays.
(Management Parameters): Note that window-id and outer-window-id
