Inspired by patch proposed by Dmitry Gutov (Bug#40671#393) and by further comments by him and by Michael Heerdegen in the same bug report. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar): Don’t push mutability here. * doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms, Quoting) (Backquote): * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Modifying Lists): * doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types, Mutability): * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Array Functions, Vectors): * doc/lispref/strings.texi (String Basics, Modifying Strings): Don’t use the word “constant” to describe all values that a program should not change. * doc/lispref/objects.texi (Mutability): Rename from “Constants and Mutability”. All uses changed. In a footnote, contrast the Emacs behavior with that of Common Lisp, Python, etc. for clarity, and say the goal is to be nicer.

This change was inspired by comments from Štěpán Němec in: https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2020-04/msg01063.html * doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types): Mention mutability. (Constants and mutability): New section. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Lists diagrammed) (Indent Tabs Mode): Improve wording. * doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms): Say that they return constants. * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Sets And Lists): Fix memql mistake/confusion that I recently introduced.
This patch builds on a suggested patch by Mattias Engdegård and on further comments by Eli Zaretskii. Original bug report by Kevin Vigouroux (Bug#40671). * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (set & setq, Review) (setcar, Lists diagrammed, Mail Aliases, Indent Tabs Mode): setq is a special form, not a function or command. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar): * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Modifying Lists, Rearrangement): * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions) (Array Functions, Vectors): * doc/lispref/strings.texi (String Basics, Modifying Strings): Mention mutable vs constant objects. * doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar, setcdr) (kill-new function, cons & search-fwd Review): * doc/lispref/edebug.texi (Printing in Edebug): * doc/lispref/keymaps.texi (Changing Key Bindings): * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Setcar, Setcdr, Rearrangement) (Sets And Lists, Association Lists, Plist Access): * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions) (Array Functions): * doc/lispref/strings.texi (Text Comparison): Fix examples so that they do not try to change constants.
