[Emacs-diffs] master d5ee655: * lisp/emacs-lisp/macroexp.el: Tweak macroexp-if optimizations

[Stefan Monnier]

branch: master
commit d5ee655c1710a62e01513fd20256a7cf35d52167
Author: Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>
Commit: Stefan Monnier <address@hidden>

    * lisp/emacs-lisp/macroexp.el: Tweak macroexp-if optimizations
    
    (macroexp-unprogn): Make sure we never return an empty list.
    (macroexp-if): Remove unused (and unsafe) optimization.
    Optimize (if A T (if B T E)) into (if (or A B) T E) instead, which does
    occur occasionally.
