Subject: 24.0.50; cl's mapc not reachable
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:15:28 +0200

The CL manual documents mapc accepting multiple sequences, but I always
get the built-in version. I was told about cl-mapc which appears not to
be documented in the manual. Actually, based on mapcar/mapcar* I
expected to find a function mapc* instead.

So what I'd like is to change the documentation in (cl) Mapping over
Sequences from mapc to mapc* and rename cl-mapc to mapc*.

That looks good. BTW, `mapcar' in doc-string of cl-mapc should be
`mapcar*'. There is also delete-dups which is basically a dumbed-down
version of delete-duplicates.

Actually, to keep the namespace cleaner, I'd rather move mapcar* to
cl-mapcar.

It would seem to be less obvious to find since it goes against the
expectations of current developers and lead to more follow-up efforts.

Still, I don't want to rename cl-mapc to mapc*.  If a change needs to be
made it is in the other direction (from mapcar* to cl-mapcar).

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

So, a simple fix to the documentation in (cl) Mapping over Sequences is all
that's required to close the bug.
