Subject: 26.3; doc of `kill-emacs' optional ARG
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 08:25:55 -0700 (PDT)

Both the Emacs and Elisp manuals describe the behavior of ARG as an
integer or a string.  But what about anything else?

In `startup.el', `edt-mapper.el', and `tpu-edt.el', for example, we find
(kill-emacs t).  How is someone to understand this code?
