The Great Cleanup Remove circular dependencies. mh-e.el now includes few require statements and stands alone. Other files should need to require mh-e.el, which requires mh-loaddefs.el, plus variable-only files such as mh-scan.el. Remove unneeded require statements. Remove unneeded load statements, or replace them with non-fatal require statements. Break out components into their own files that were often spread between many files. As a result, many functions that are now only used within a single file no longer need to be autoloaded. Rearrange and provide consistent headings. Untabify. * mh-acros.el: Update commentary to reflect current usage. Add autoload cookies to all macros. (mh-require-cl): Merge docstring and comment. (mh-do-in-xemacs): Fix typo in docstring.

@appendix Standard Errors

  Here is the complete list of the error symbols in standard Emacs,
grouped by concept.  The list includes each symbol's message (on the
@code{error-message} property of the symbol) and a cross reference to a
description of how the error can occur.

  Each error symbol has an @code{error-conditions} property that is a
list of symbols.  Normally this list includes the error symbol itself
and the symbol @code{error}.  Occasionally it includes additional
symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than
@code{error} but broader than a single error symbol.  For example, all
the errors in accessing files have the condition @code{file-error}.  If
we do not say here that a certain error symbol has additional error
conditions, that means it has none.

  As a special exception, the error symbol @code{quit} does not have the
condition @code{error}, because quitting is not considered an error.

  @xref{Errors}, for an explanation of how errors are generated and
handled.

@item file-error
We do not list the error-strings of this error and its subcategories,
because the error message is normally constructed from the data items
alone when the error condition @code{file-error} is present.  Thus,
the error-strings are not very relevant.  However, these error symbols
do have @code{error-message} properties, and if no data is provided,
the @code{error-message} property @emph{is} used.@*
@xref{Files}.
