It's a joke, right? What part of this problem statement (your "what") is so
difficult to understand?
>> This says only what a value of `t' means.
>> It does not say what other non-nil values mean.
As to "how" I would like it to be fixed, that really doesn't matter much, does
it? It should be enough to point out the problem, especially in a trivial case
such as this.
In any case, I did say how I would like to see it fixed:
>> Please state clearly and completely what NOERROR means.
However that might be done would be fine with me. The "how" isn't important.
So far, we explain what a `nil' value means and what a `t' value means. That's
clear as far as it goes, but it is not complete, which means that in the end it
is also not clear.
Singling out the particular non-nil value `t' this way leaves the reader
wondering. Unless, that is, s?he assumes Stefan's general rule that anything
not mentioned is unpredictable and unsupported.
