Subject: 25.0.50; sexp parser error when 'vector' forms are in the docstring
Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2015 07:47:50 -0400

Define a function with the following form:

(defun sexp-parser-bug? ()
  "Should this work?

[ [a b c]
  [d e f]
 |[g h i]]

[[|a b c]
 [ d e f]
 [ g h i]]"
  (interactive) 
  (message "charnock"))

Attempt to `M-x eval-defun` and notice that it doesn't eval the top
level.

Attempt to change the body and notice that it doesn't indent properly.

Various other navigation and editing things go wrong.

Remove the vector forms from the docstring and everything starts
working again.

(defun sexp-parser-bug? ()
  "Should this work?"
  (interactive) 
  (message "charnock"))

It's our old friend, unescaped paren in column 0.
You can write \[, or change open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start.

Thanks! That's entirely acceptable. I actually don't know why this was sent
today. It must be hanging around on my mail spool for the past year or so
which is when I tried to file the bug.
