Subject: 24.5; (elisp) `Type Predicates': Repeat the rule from `Coding
 Conventions'
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 10:23:32 -0800 (PST)

(elisp) `Coding Conventions' makes clear that a predicate name that has
multiple words should end in `-p', not just `p'.  This should also be
made clear in node `Type Predicates', which currently says only this
about the naming:

  Following a general Lisp convention for predicate functions, most type
  predicates=A1=AF names end with =A1=AEp=A1=AF.

And that node should have a cross reference to node `Coding
Conventions', which details the "general Lisp convention for predicate
functions" that it refers to.
