Fixed a few hours ago in `trunk'.

[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
From a post on gnu.emacs.help:
... another thing, when you do
(global-set-key [M-RET] 'find-file-at-line)
it says
(error "To bind the key M-RET, use \"\\M-\\r\", not [M-RET]")
- that should indicate "\M-\r", right?
So why does the [...] syntax recommend the "..."
syntax, if the "..." is the one outdated/incomplete and
[...] the one modern/universal?
- and I was told it is a bug. It makes sense it is a
bug, because it doesn't make any sense, *if* indeed the
"..." is considered legacy (which I haven't done
anything to verify, but I believed him).
