(easy-mmode-pretty-mode-name): Explain more about the LIGHTER arg's usage in the doc string. Add commentary to clarify what the code does. Fix the regexp that strips whitespace from LIGHTER. Quote LIGHTER before using it, since it could have characters special to regular expressions.

This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
written in Emacs Lisp.  *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions.  Byte-compiled
files are architecture-independent.

The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
certain terminal types.  When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
`term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
purpose.
