Add autoloads of crypt++ and mailcrypt routines, all for encryption functionality. allout customization subgroup now positioned in `outlines' group instead of prior `editing' group. (allout-encrypt-string, allout-encryption-produce-work-buffer) (allout-encrypted-topic-p, allout-encrypted-text-type) (allout-mc-activate-passwd, allout-create-encryption-key-verifier) (allout-situate-encryption-key-verifier) (allout-get-encryption-key-verifier, allout-verify-key) (allout-next-topic-pending-encryption) (allout-encrypt-decrypted, allout-encrypted-type-prefix): New functions. (outline-topic-encryption-bullet, outline-default-encryption-scheme) (outline-key-verifier-handling, outline-key-hint-handling) (outline-encrypt-unencrypted-on-saves): New defcustoms. (allout-file-key-verifier-string, allout-encryption-scheme) (allout-key-verifier-string, allout-key-hint-string) (allout-after-save-decrypt): New variables. (allout-write-file-hook-handler, allout-auto-save-hook-handler) (allout-after-saves-handler): New hook functions. (allout-post-command-business): Do allout-after-save-decrypt. (allout-enable-file-variable-adjustment): Custom var to enable mechanism for adding and adjusting settings of Emacs file variables. (allout-adjust-file-variable, allout-file-vars-section-data): New functions, implement the mechanism. (outlineify-sticky): Use the file vars mechanism. (allout-inhibit-protection, allout-during-write-cue) (allout-override-protect, allout-before-change-protect): Removed. (allout-flag-region, allout-open-topic): Revised to adjust read-only text. (allout-open-line-not-read-only): Added to facilitate read-only text based protection. (allout-kill-line): Revised to adjust read-only text, clue the user about the inhibition. (allout-unprotected): Robustified with an unwind-protect. (allout-shift-in, allout-shift-out): Disallow manually shifting a topic deeper than the offspring depth of the previous topic - avoiding confusing "containment discontinuities". (allout-reindent-bodies): Fixed retention of body relative hanging indent during promotion of collapsed bodies. (allout-open-topic): Made it easy to open new topic with same bullet as current topic - topic creation functions provided with any universal argument provokes now prompt for bullet, defaulting to the bullet of the previous topic. (allout-plain-bullets-string, allout-distinctive-bullets-string): Plain bullet alternates '.' period and ',' comma only. All other bullets are relegated to special status (but customizable). (allout-end-of-entry): Renamed from 'allout-end-of-current-entry since it actually operates w.r.t. most immediately containing entry, visible or not. (allout-hide-current-entry, allout-show-current-entry): Use the revised version. (allout-old-expose-topic): Solidify deprecation. (allout-end-of-subtree): Added, so we can span concealed as well as visible topics. (allout-end-of-current-subtree): Use `allout-end-of-subtree'. (allout-end-of-current-heading): Tweaked to just respect the first line. (allout-get-body-text): Added. (allout-ascend-to-depth, allout-ascend): Position at end of prefix when invoked interactively. (allout-up-current-level): Use `interactive-p'. (allout-mode, allout-init): Miscellaneous docstring and operational refinements, as well as hookups of new encryption stuff. (allout-beginning-of-current-entry): Now works as advertised. (allout-end-of-current-entry): Relieved of superfluous allout-show-entry. (allout-isearch-rectification): Refine condition for isearching (allout-isearch-abort, allout-enwrap-isearch). (allout-flag-region, my-region-active-p): Relocated some macros. (allout-title): Fallback title is '(buffer-name)', not non-existing '(current-buffer-name)'. (subst-char-in-string): Define if absent (for some XEmacs versions). Corrected commentary 'keywords' to legitimate ones. Updated comentary author info (using my current email address, obscurified).

@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}.  If
we do not say here that a certain error symbol has additional error
conditions, that means it has none.

  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.

@item file-error
We do not list the error-strings of this error and its subcategories,
because the error message is normally constructed from the data items
alone when the error condition @code{file-error} is present.  Thus,
the error-strings are not very relevant.  However, these error symbols
do have @code{error-message} properties, and if no data is provided,
the @code{error-message} property @emph{is} used.@*
