* Lisp Changes in Emacs 21.4

+++
** The option --script FILE runs Emacs in batch mode and loads FILE.
It is useful for writing Emacs Lisp shell script files, because they
can start with this line:

** The new function `run-mode-hooks' and the new macro `delay-mode-hooks'
are used by define-derived-mode to make sure the mode hook for the
parent mode is run at the end of the child mode.

+++
** `provide' and `featurep' now accept an optional second argument
to test/provide subfeatures.  Also `provide' now checks `after-load-alist'
and run any code associated with the provided feature.

** Functions `user-uid' and `user-real-uid' now return floats if the
user UID doesn't fit in a Lisp integer.  Function `user-full-name'
accepts a float as UID parameter.

** `define-key-after' now accepts keys longer than 1.

** `define-derived-mode' now accepts nil as the parent.

** The local variable `no-byte-compile' in elisp files is now obeyed.

** The Emacs Lisp byte-compiler now displays the actual line and
character position of errors, where possible.  Additionally, the form

is a copy of a given abbrev table.
