Often it is said here that it is best to check for features, and not
for specific Emacs versions.
What about changes to allowed values for a variable?
`save-abbrevs' now accepts the value `silently', but that feature has
neither new variables nor functions to test for. And I don't want to
simply set `save-abbrevs' to `silently' because then, 21.1 asks me
every time about saving the abbreviations.
What would be the wisest way to check for it?
(string-match "`silently'"
(documentation-property 'save-abbrevs
'variable-documentation))
seems hardly elegant...
