changeset 6511:fb1c6b7aba39

Change "internal" to "original" throughout. (add-custom-printer, delete-custom-printer) replace old customizers. (with-custom-print) new (custom-prin1-to-string) Made it more robust.

+;;; Revision 1.4  1994/03/23  20:34:29  liberte

+;;;
+;;; Revision 1.3  1994/02/21  21:25:36  liberte
+;;; * Make custom-prin1-to-string more robust when errors occur.
+;;; * Change "internal" to "emacs".
+;;;
+;;; Revision 1.2  1993/11/22  22:36:36  liberte
+;;; * Simplified and generalized printer customization.
+;;;     custom-printers is an alist of (PREDICATE . PRINTER) pairs
+;;;     for any data types.  The PRINTER function should print to
+;;;     `standard-output'  add-custom-printer and delete-custom-printer
+;;;     change custom-printers.
+;;;
+;;; * Installation function now called install-custom-print.  The
+;;;     old name is still around for now.
+;;;
+;;; * New macro with-custom-print (added earlier) - executes like
+;;;     progn but with custom-print activated temporarily.
+;;;
+;;; * Cleaned up comments for replacements of standardard printers.
+;;;
+;;; * Changed custom-prin1-to-string to use a temporary buffer.
+;;;
+;;; * Option custom-print-vectors (added earlier) - controls whether
+;;;     vectors should be printed according to print-length and
+;;;     print-length.  Emacs doesnt do this, but cust-print would
+;;;     otherwise do it only if custom printing is required.
+;;;
+;;; * Uninterned symbols are treated as non-read-equivalent.
