(hs-special-modes-alist): Include also the comment regexp in the alist. This is needed for modes like c++ where the comment beginning regexp is not easy to determine from the syntax table. Include ADJUST-BLOCK-BEGINNING in the alist. (hs-hide-comments-when-hiding-all): Add autoload cookie. (hs-show-hidden-short-form): (hs-adjust-block-beginning): New variables. Comment out `hs-menu-bar' as XEmacs support was removed. (hs-c-end-regexp): Remove variable, obsoleted by the rewrite of `hs-inside-comment-p'. (hs-discard-overlays): No need to test if we are inside the overlay, we surely are since we got the overlay using `overlays-at'. (hs-hide-block-at-point): Rewritten to use the new variables. Use only one parameter to specify the comment. (hs-show-block-at-point): No need for the COMMENT-REG parameter. (hs-safety-is-job-n): Correct typo. (hs-hide-initial-comment-block): Add ^L to the chars to skip. Take into account `hs-show-hidden-short-form' when testing. (hs-inside-single-line-comment-p): Function deleted, obsoleted by the rewrite of `hs-inside-comment-p'. (hs-inside-comment-p): Rewritten from scratch. Semantics changed when returning non-nil. We can be inside a comment, but that comment might not be hidable (the car of the return value should be non-nil to be hidable). (hs-grok-mode-type): Rewrite to be more understandable. `hs-c-end-regexp' does not exist any more. Initialize `hs-c-start-regexp' from the alist if specified there. Initialize `hs-adjust-block-beginning'. (hs-find-block-beginning): Rewritten to be able to deal with the situation when a block beginning spans multiple lines and the point is on one of those lines. (hs-already-hidden-p): Look first if we are inside a comment or a block, go to their end and look there for the overlays. (java-hs-adjust-block-beginning): New function. (hs-hide-all): Hide a comment block only if `hs-inside-comment-p' says is hidable. (hs-hide-block): Simplify. Handle properly the result of `hs-inside-comment-p'. (hs-show-block): Likewise. (hs-minor-mode): Doc string fixes. Make `hs-adjust-block-beginning' buffer local. Delete making `hs-c-end-regexp' buffer local as it was deleted.

@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}.

  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.
