Yes, it's vague.  Maybe the place I cited should formulated otherwise,
since we didn't use the term for the "no no" objects, for reasons.


BTW (also @Paul) there are some places (five or so) in Elisp source
files that look like

  (nconc '(x y z) (get-some-list))

Should they be rewritten?


Michael.
