Subject: bug#10189: wholenump versus natnump

From: Glenn Morris <[email-masked]>

Package: emacs
Severity: minor

The Elisp manual says (since at least v21):

   @code{natnump} is an obsolete synonym for @code{wholenump}.

However, the doc-string of natnump does not say anything about it being
an (obsolete) alias for wholenump.

wholenump is used a grand total of 7 times in the Emacs sources,
whereas natnump is used ~ 100 times.

Either natnump should be marked obsolete and replaced with wholenump, or
the manual should be changed.
