Re: table.el

[Tak Ota]

I found 2 types for prompt messages.

1. "prompt: (default %s) "
2. "prompt (default %s): "

For example, `switch-to-buffer' is the type 1 and `describe-function'
is the type 2.  Do you think I should follow the type 1?  Should all
type 2 be corrected to type 1?  To find the answer I opened the info
buffer to search in the elisp manual then learned that `Info-search'
was the type 2.
