;; Introduction
;; ============
;; This program is for lisp package authors and is used to ease
;; reporting of bugs.  When invoked, reporter-submit-bug-report will
;; set up a mail buffer with the appropriate bug report address,
;; including a lisp expression the maintainer of the package can use
;; to completely reproduce the environment in which the bug was
;; observed (e.g. by using eval-last-sexp). This package is especially
;; useful for my development of c++-mode.el, which is highly dependent
;; on its configuration variables.
;;
;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.
;; Here's an example usage:
;;
;; (defconst mypkg-version "9.801")
;; (defconst mypkg-maintainer-address "[e-mail]")
;; (defun mypkg-submit-bug-report ()
;;   "Submit via mail a bug report on mypkg"
;;   (interactive)
;;   (require 'reporter)
;;   (and (y-or-n-p "Do you really want to submit a report on mypkg? ")
;;        (reporter-submit-bug-report
;;          mypkg-maintainer-address
;;          (concat "mypkg.el " mypkg-version)
;;          (list 'mypkg-variable-1
;;                'mypkg-variable-2
;;                ;; ...
;;                'mypkg-variable-last))))

;; Mailing List
;; ============
;; I've set up a mailing list to report bugs or suggest enhancements,
;; etc. This list's intended audience is elisp package authors who are
;; using reporter and want to stay current with releases. Here are the
;; relevant addresses:

;; Administrivia: [e-mail]

  "Dump the state of the mode specific variables.
PKGNAME contains the name of the mode as it will appear in the bug
report (you must explicitly concat any version numbers).

VARLIST is the list of variables to dump.  Each element in VARLIST can
be a variable symbol, or a cons cell.  If a symbol, this will be
passed to `reporter-dump-variable' for insertion into the mail buffer.
If a cons cell, the car must be a variable symbol and the cdr must be
a function which will be `funcall'd with the symbol. Use this to write
your own custom variable value printers for specific variables.

Note that the global variable `reporter-eval-buffer' will be bound to
the buffer in which `reporter-submit-bug-report' was invoked.  If you
want to print the value of a buffer local variable, you should wrap
the `eval' call in your custom printer inside a `set-buffer' (and
probably a `save-excursion'). `reporter-dump-variable' handles this
properly.

PRE-HOOKS is run after the emacs-version and PKGNAME are inserted, but
before the VARLIST is dumped.  POST-HOOKS is run after the VARLIST is
dumped."
