what happens if the optional argument isn't there, and the user hasn't
supplied an optional argument? would you use some default string or leave
it empty?

mmm, that sucks. it happens on my setup only...

with 'emacs -Q -l auctex', TeX-fold-buffer works fine. i only tried one of
my files, but i think that's enough evidence, because with my own settings,
TeX-fold-buffer fails in any LaTeX file, even in a minimal file such as the
following:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\emph{hello world}

\end{document}

looks like there's something amiss in my settings... hopefully in the next
few days i'll have the time to figure out what the cause of the problem is.
when i do, i'll let you know.
