Daniel Colascione 554001dfa9 Type checking for `define-widget'
* lisp/widget.el (define-widget): Check that documentation is a string
or nil; prevent wailing and gnashing of teeth when users forget to
pass a docstring and wonder why their properties don't work.

;;
;; This file only contains the code needed to define new widget types.
;; Everything else is autoloaded from `wid-edit.el'.
;;; Code:
;; Doing this is unnecessary in Emacs 20. Kept as dummy in case
;; external libraries call it. We save a kb or two of purespace by
;; dummying-out such definitions generally.
