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).
Vinternal__top_level_message, as suggested by Stefan Monnier in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-08/msg00493.html
All related users changed.
* lisp/startup.el (normal-top-level): Now use internal--top-level-message.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval): Mention possible recovery from stack overflow.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Eval): Document the LEXICAL arg to eval.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Variables, Void Variables): Use "scoping rule"
terminology consistently.
(Variable Scoping): Add index entries, and use "dynamic scope"
terminology in place of "indefinite scope" to reduce confusion.
(Lexical Binding): Document lexical environment format.
(Using Lexical Binding): Add index entries for error messages.
This undoes the previous change. The check slows down the
interpreter, and is not needed to prevent a crash. See
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-07/msg00693.html>.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Special Forms): Mention 'lambda'. Also, say that
non-well-formed expressions result in unspecified behavior, though
Emacs will not crash.

defmacro, defun, save-window-excursion, with-output-to-temp-buffer.
* doc/lispref/functions.texi (Defining Functions): Defun is now a macro.
Defalias is a function.
