Emacs is full of such practices, so don't worry about that, it's quite common (and considered good practice) in Emacs Lisp. > Eli Zaretskii writes: > > In any case, we cannot change the signature of help-quick, since it's a > > public function. > > If I can't modify the function `help-quick' how can I make it work? You write a new function with the signature you like and make help-quick call it to do the actual job. Where you want to use the signature of the new function, you call it directly.
