allout.el: Summary - migrate to defining allout mode using define-minor-mode instead of defun. Significantly clean-up internal keymap provisions, refactoring a bit and removing a lot of accumulated cruft. allout-mode-map is now a keymap by virtue of being an defalias to allout-mode-map-value, which contains the actual keymap structure. (allout-mode): Use define-minor-mode rather than defun. Remove now-unnecessary minor-mode setup activities from the body. Specify :keymap as allout-mode-map so the minor-mode-map-alist entry will be '(allout-mode . allout-mode-map) - see allout-mode-map-value, below. Adjust docstring to track changes. (allout-minor-mode): Remove this defalias, now that we're using define-minor-mode. (allout-mode-map): Set value to be 'allout-mode-map. The actual keymap is allout-mode-map-value, via defalias. (allout-mode-map-value): The variable holding the actual mode keymap structure, by virtue of defalias from allout-mode-map. (allout-compose-and-institute-keymap): Renamed from allout-bind-keys, and including the binding-composition functionality of the former produce-allout-mode-map and allout-setup-mode-map. (allout-institute-keymap): Take over the "setup" part of the former allout-setup-mode-map. Reassign allout-mode-map-value value and update the defalias. (allout-command-prefix) (allout-prefixed-keybindings) (allout-unprefixed-keybindings): Use allout-compose-and-institute-keymap to process the bindings. (allout-unprefixed-keybindings): Remove extraneous '?' question marks. (allout-prefixed-keybindings): Elide binding to (prefixed) \C-h - user can customize if they want to use that binding. Bind allout-copy-topic-as-kill to (prefixed) \M-k. Bind allout-up-current-level to (prefixed) \C-u. (I think i mistakenly elided that, previously, instead of the one for \C-h.) (allout-hotspot-key-handler): Remove attempt to resolve the key through the literal key-string lookup on allout-keybindings-list. That probably hasn't worked for a Long Time, and removal of allout-keybindings-list further simplifies the keybindings situation. (allout-pre-command-business): Use allout-mode-map-value instead of allout-mode-map. (allout-preempt-trailing-ctrl-h): Remove. The user can customize the bindings if they want to use a keybinding having a trailing \C-h. No deprecation needed since this feature was never in a release. (allout-keybindings-list): Remove. It's not been useful for a while. (See allout-hotspot-key-handler changes, above.) (produce-allout-mode-map): Remove. Consolidate into allout-compose-and-institute-keymap. (allout-mode-map-adjustments): Remove. No longer necessary with removal of allout-preempt-trailing-ctrl-h. (allout-setup-mode-map): Remove. Consolidate into allout-compose-and-institute-keymap and allout-institute-keymap.

  Most of the GNU Emacs text editor is written in the programming
language called Emacs Lisp.  You can write new code in Emacs Lisp and
install it as an extension to the editor.  However, Emacs Lisp is more
than a mere ``extension language''; it is a full computer programming
language in its own right.  You can use it as you would any other
programming language.

  Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special
features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling
files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on.  Emacs Lisp is
closely integrated with the editing facilities; thus, editing commands
are functions that can also conveniently be called from Lisp programs,
and parameters for customization are ordinary Lisp variables.

  This manual describes Emacs Lisp.  Generally speaking, the earlier
chapters describe features of Emacs Lisp that have counterparts in
many programming languages, and later chapters describe features that
are peculiar to Emacs Lisp or relate specifically to editing.
