changeset 31797:b9e108c1c1bf

Some doc fixes. (iswitchb-mode-map): Define completely initially. Inherit minibuffer-local-map. (iswitchb-completion-help) <!iswitchb-xemacs>: Use fundamental-mode. (iswitchb-global-map): New variable. (iswitchb-summaries-to-end): Amalgamate regexps. (iswitchb-mode): New. (iswitchb-mode-hook): New variable. (iswitchb) <defgroup>: Add URL link. Use group `completion', not `extensions'.
