Subject: [patch] make 'org-save-outline-visibility' return a useful value
Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 03:11:45 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20110422T050353-1@post.gmane.org> (raw)

The macro 'org-save-outline-visibility' in org-macs.el seems like 
it should return the value of the last statement in its body (like 
save-excursion and save-restriction do). Instead it discards this
value and returns nothing useful.

The macro is only used in 2 places in the org sources, and its
return value is ignored in both. I feel it would be more useful if 
it returned the value of the last expression in its body. A patch 
to this effect is attached.

Paul
