* doc/lispref/customize.texi (Composite Types): Add concept
index entries for restricted-sexp, radio and choice (bug#7385).
(cherry picked from commit 388bb723fa)
The manuals often used quotes ``...'' when it is better to use @dfn or
@code or capitalized words or no quoting at all. For example, there is
no need for the `` and '' in “if a variable has one effect for
@code{nil} values and another effect for ``non-@code{nil}'' values”.
Reword the Emacs, Lisp intro, and Lisp reference manuals to eliminate
unnecessary quoting like this, and to use @dfn etc. instead when called
for (Bug#21472).

Hyphenate "floating-point" iff it precedes a noun.
Reword to avoid nouns and hyphenation when that's easy.
Prefer "integer" to "integer number" and "is floating point"
to "is a floating point number".
Prefer "@minus{}" to "-" when it's a minus.
Be more systematic about using "@." (not ".") at end of sentence that
ends in a capital letter, and about appending "@:" after non-ends of
sentences that end in a lower case letter followed by "." followed by
whitespace. Omit unnecessary use of "@:" and "@.". Similarly for "?"
and "!". Be more consistent about putting a comma after "i.e." and
"e.g."; this is the typical American style and it's easier to code in
Texinfo.
