changeset 32120:c443d63bec69

* generic.el: Incorporates extensive cleanup and docfixes by Stefan Monnier (monnier+gnu/emacs@flint.cs.yale.edu). Uses cl compile-time macros. (generic-mode-name, generic-comment-list, generic-keywords-list, generic-font-lock-expressions, generic-mode-function-list, generic-mode-syntax-table): Removed variables. (generic-mode-alist): Renamed to generic-mode-list. (generic-find-file-regexp): Default changed to "^#". (generic-read-type): Uses completing read on generic-mode-list. (generic-mode-sanity-check): removed this function. (generic-add-to-auto-mode): Removed this function (generic-mode-internal): Binds mode-specific definitions into function instead of putting them in alist. (generic-mode-set-comments): Reworked extensively. (generic-mode-find-file-hook): Simplified regexp searching (generic-make-keywords-list): Omit extra pair of parens
