Hello,

after reading the gv.el code, AFAICT the `gv-setter' declaration form
for `defun' accepts a second optional arg FIX-RETURN (that is actually
useful).

Can you confirm, Stefan?  Then we should adopt the info node mentioned
in the subject accordingly, I think.


Regards,

Michael.

Nothing.  What I don't like is the reliance on setf's return value
(which is the original reason for the need of fix-return).  But going
against CommonLisp's convention (and Elisp's setq behavior) is not on
the agenda [sadly for me].

Ah, thanks for elaborating.  So let's keep what we have for now.

Michael.
