This change was inspired by comments from Štěpán Němec in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2020-04/msg01063.html
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types): Mention mutability.
(Constants and mutability): New section.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Lists diagrammed)
(Indent Tabs Mode): Improve wording.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms):
Say that they return constants.

Fix memql mistake/confusion that I recently introduced.

Remove function quoting from lambda in examples where it still occurs,
since examples should follow our best style and be consistent.
This patch builds on a suggested patch by Mattias Engdegård
and on further comments by Eli Zaretskii.
Original bug report by Kevin Vigouroux (Bug#40671).

Fix examples so that they do not try to change constants.
I was at a loss as to why my attempt to set up spam-stat seemed to
have no effect, only to find (digging in the code) that it was
ignoring most of the sample files due to this undocumented variable.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Creating a spam-stat dictionary): Document
the variable 'spam-stat-process-directory-age'. (bug#39780)
* lisp/simple.el (shell-command-dont-erase-buffer): Clarify the
effect of the various values in the doc string.
(shell-command-save-pos-or-erase, shell-command): Don't move or
push point if the output will go to the current buffer.
(Bug#40690)
(shell-command): Mention 'shell-command-dont-erase-buffer' in the
doc string.
* test/lisp/simple-tests.el
(with-shell-command-dont-erase-buffer): Don't is shell quoting
'like this', as it doesn't work on MS-Windows; quote "like this"
instead.
(simple-tests-shell-command-dont-erase-buffer): Adapt the test to
the new modus operandi.
* doc/emacs/misc.texi (Single Shell): Document the effect of the
various values of 'shell-command-dont-erase-buffer'.
* etc/NEWS: Expand and reword the entry regarding changes in
'shell-command-dont-erase-buffer'.
* lisp/calculator.el (calculator-expt): Overflowing exponentiation
caused the function to return -1.0e+INF if the base was an odd,
negative number, no matter what the exponent was.
Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes
By default, the flex completion style _does_ match spaces.
Fixes: bug#40625
* lisp/icomplete.el (icomplete--fido-mode-setup): Force
completion-flex-nospace to nil.
* lisp/minibuffer.el (completion-flex-nospace): Default to nil.
* doc/misc/efaq-w32.texi (Font names): Modify the expression to
insert a lits of all installed fonts so as to avoid producing too
long lines. Suggested by ndame <ndame@protonmail.com>.
* src/nsterm.m ([EmacsApp applicationDidFinishLaunching:]): Call
CoreFoundation functions that increase RLIMIT_NOFILE behind our back
during startup, and then set RLIMIT_NOFILE back to FD_SETSIZE to avoid
crashes in setup_process_coding_system (Bug#39164).
* lisp/simple.el (yank): Mention 'current-kill' in the doc string,
so that people could find all the gory details of what is "the most
recent kill" for this purpose. (Bug#40375)
* lisp/erc/erc-track.el (erc-track-switch-buffer): Factor out the
implementation from here ...
(erc-track--switch-buffer): ... to here.
(erc-track-switch-buffer-other-window): New function, like
`erc-track-switch-buffer', but uses `switch-to-buffer-other-window'
instead, to open the buffer in another window.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-switch-to-buffer): Factor out the buffer choice
implementation from here ...
(erc--switch-to-buffer): ... to here.
(erc-switch-to-buffer-other-window): New function, like
`erc-switch-to-buffer', but uses `switch-to-buffer-other-window'
instead, to open the buffer in another window.
'gnus-shorten-url' (used by 'gnus-summary-browse-url') ignored
fragment identifiers and didn't check substring bounds, in some cases
leading to runtime errors, e.g.:
(gnus-shorten-url "https://some.url.with/path/and#also_a_long_target" 40)
;; => Lisp error: (args-out-of-range "/path/and" -18 nil)
This commit makes it account for #fragments and fixes faulty string
computation. (bug#39980)
Do not merge to master, where the helper is put to subr-x.el.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el (gnus--string-truncate-left): New helper
function (copied from 'ediff-truncate-string-left').
(gnus-shorten-url): Use it and don't drop #fragments.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Prevent confusion): Mention
that dynamic scoping is only the default in Emacs Lisp, not the
only scoping rule. (Bug#40594)
* lisp/simple.el (compose-mail): Clarify the effect of the
CONTINUE argument.
* lisp/mail/sendmail.el (mail-from-style): Update the RFC value in
the obsolescence warning text.
* doc/emacs/sending.texi (Sending Mail): Fix the description of
the behavior of 'C-x m' wrt prefix argument.
(Mail Headers): Remove the description of 'mail-from-style'.
* etc/NEWS: Mention that 'mail-from-style' is obsolete.
(Bug#40561)
* src/xfns.c (Fx_gtk_debug, Sx_gtk_debug): Define only for GTK
versions >= 3.14.0 so gtk_window_set_interactive_debugging is
defined. Reported by Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>.
* doc/emacs/display.texi (Scrolling): Add a paragraph on using jit-lock
deferred fontification as a way of obviating Emacs hanging after
auto-repeated scrolling.
Don't make it sound like `:key-sequence nil` is any different than the
absence of `:key-sequence`. And the performance advantage of
`:key-sequence` disappeared long ago.
* src/dispnew.c (update_window): Reset the window's
'must_be_updated_p' flag if the window's update was completed
without interruption. This fixes redisplay glitches when
'redisplay-dont-pause' is nil, at least on MS-Windows, because
'expose_window' doesn't redraw the exposed rectangle when the
window's 'must_be_updated_p' flag is set.
* lisp/cedet/pulse.el (pulse-reset-face): Propagate the :extend
attribute of FACE to the face used for displaying the pulse.
Reported by Adam Porter <adam@alphapapa.net>.
* lisp/jit-lock.el (jit-lock-contextually): Clarify the jit-lock
operation when 'jit-lock-contextually' is non-nil and non-t.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Syntactic Font Lock)
(Other Font Lock Variables): Document the relation between
'jit-lock-register', 'font-lock-keywords-only', and syntactic
refontification.
