Quoting functions with ' vs #'

Quoting functions with ' vs #'

[Aaron Ecay]

Hello,

Commit a5686d87 (link[1]) changes several uses of #' to '.  Is this org
“house style”?  It disables a compile-time warning about potentially
undefined functions:

#+begin_src elisp
(defun i-give-a-warning () (mapc #'doesnt-exist '(1 2 3)))

(defun i-do-not () (mapc 'doesnt-exist2 '(1 2 3)))
#+end_src

When I’m writing elisp, this warning catches my own mistakes on a pretty
regular basis, and so I’m rather fond of it.  But if bare ' is how org
code should be written, it would be good to know that.

Thanks,
Aaron

Not really.  My decision for this can be sumed up like this:

#+begin_src elisp
(defun i-give-a-warning () (mapc 'does-exist '(1 2 3)))
(defun i-do-not () (mapc #'maybe-problematic-for-compilation '(1 2 3)))
#+end_src

But I don't feel strongly about that, except for #'(lambda ...) which
is just redondant, if not misleading.

2 cts,
