Include "coding.h". (Qget_emacs_mule_file_char, Qload_force_doc_strings, load_each_byte, unread_char): New variables. (readchar_backlog): This variable deleted. (readchar): Return a character unless load_each_byte is nonzero. Handle the case that readcharfun is Qget_emacs_mule_file_char or a cons. If unread_char is not -1, simply return it. (unreadchar): Handle the case that readcharfun is Qget_emacs_mule_file_char or a cons. Set unread_char if necessary. (read_multibyte): This function deleted. (readbyte_for_lambda, readbyte_from_file, readbyte_from_string) (read_emacs_mule_char): New functions. (Fload): Even if the file doesn't have the extention ".elc", if safe_to_load_p returns a positive version number, assume that the file contains bytecompiled code. If the version is less than 22, load the file while decoding multibyte sequences by emacs-mule. (readevalloop): Don't use readchar_backlog. (Fread): Likewise. Pay attention to the case that STREAM is a cons. (Fread_from_string): Pay attention to the case that STREAM is a cons. (read_escape): The arg BYTEREP deleted. (read1): Set load_each_byte to 1 temporarily while handling #@NUMBER. Don't call read_multibyte. (read_vector): Call Fread with a cons. If readcharfun is Qget_emacs_mule_file_char, decode the read string by emacs-mule. (read_list): If doc_reference is 2, make the cdr part string as unibyte. (syms_of_lread): Intern and staticpro Qget_emacs_mule_file_char and Qload_force_doc_strings.

@quotation
  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.
