Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I came across:

,----[ (info "(elisp)Abbrev Tables") ]
|  -- º¯Êý: clear-abbrev-table table
|      This function undefines all the abbrevs in abbrev table TABLE,
|      leaving it empty.  It always returns `nil'.
`----

However after experimenting with it, I have the impression that it
returns the number of abbrevs being cleared.

Please take a look at this.

Leo
