> Hello, I'd like to report a redundancy in the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual. In section 2.1, Special Read
> Syntax, the syntax ‘#@N’ is described twice:

>   ‘#@N’
>        Skip the next ‘N’ characters (*note Comments::).
> 
>   [...]
> 
>   ‘#@N’
>        Skip the next ‘N’ characters (*note Comments::).  This is used in
>        byte-compiled files, and is not meant to be used in Emacs Lisp
>        source files.

> I hope this helps!
