(shell-command-default-error-buffer): Renamed from shell-command-on-region-default-error-buffer. (shell-command-on-region): Mention in echo area when there is some error output. Mention success or failure, too. Accumulate multiple error outputs going forward, with formfeed in between. Display the error buffer when we have put something in it. (shell-command): Add the ERROR-BUFFER argument feature.

;;; Commentary:

;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
;; services by keyword.
;;
;; Things to do:
;;    1. Support multiple keywords per search.  This could be extremely hairy;
;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
;;    2. Search by string in synopsis line?
;;    3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.

;;; Code:

(require 'finder-inf)
