[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

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!
