Subject: 24.3.50; doc string of `recursive-edit' - mention `throw' of any value
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:04:40 -0800 (PST)

The doc string gives the impression that the only possibilities to "get
out of the recursive edit" are to throw nil or t. (elisp) `Recursive
Edit' is much clearer.  Say explicitly that `recursive-edit' does
`catch' and it returns the value thrown to `exit', except if t or nil.
