* Document Lisp floats a bit betterPaul Eggert2019-11-101-30/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | * doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Float Basics): * doc/misc/cl.texi (Implementation Parameters): * lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el (cl-most-positive-float) (cl-least-positive-float) (cl-least-positive-normalized-float, cl-float-epsilon) (cl-float-negative-epsilon): Document IEEE floating point better. Don’t suggest that Emacs might use some floating-point format other than IEEE format, as Emacs currently assumes IEEE in several places and there seems little point in removing those assumptions.

* Allow flymake diagnostic types to have shorter namesJoão Távora2019-11-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Eglot, a third-party package which uses Flymake, has its own diagnostic types such as 'eglot-error', 'eglot-warning', etc...
