Honorable GNU !

I was reading
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/FFAP.html

and then observed what I think is a typo, my mind expected the word
"sensible" but my eyes saw the word "sensitive"

The FFAP package replaces certain key bindings for finding files, such as C-x
C-f, with commands that provide more sensitive defaults.

http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/sensible?s=t

- more sensitive defaults.
+ more sensible defaults.


Live long and prosper
