Subject: typo in elisp manual for alist-get
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2016 13:06:00 -0500

The function signature for alist-get in the elisp manual is:

    Function: alist-get key value &optional default remove

I believe value should be alist as follows:

    Function: alist-get key alist &optional default remove

--
