(kbd_buffer_gcpro): Renamed from kbd_buffer_frame_or_window. Now used for all Lisp objects referenced from the input queue. (kbd_buffer_store_event): Always use structure assignment for copying input events. Record all Lisp objects referenced from events in kbd_buffer_gcpro. (kbd_buffer_get_event): Construct Lisp `help-echo' events differently from input events. Test for prefix menu_bar_events and TOOL_BAR_EVENTs differently. Reset all slots used by an input event in kbd_buffer_gcpro to nil. (make_lispy_event) <TOOL_BAR_EVENT>: Treat an input event whose frame_or_window is equal to its arg member as prefix events. (stuff_buffered_input): Reset all slots in kbd_buffer_gcpro used by an input event to nil. (init_keyboard): Use two times the size of the input queue for kbd_buffer_gcpro. (syms_of_keyboard): Likewise.

@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.
