| * Update remarks on name prefixes in coding conventionsSean Whitton2025-04-121-12/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * doc/lispref/tips.texi (Coding Conventions): Say that it's okay to put the name prefix later for defining constructs, rather than explicitly instructing the reader to do so. Condense the recommendation to err on the side of prepending the name prefix.
