(Eval): Copyedits. * doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Sequence Functions): Don't repeat the introduction already given in the parent. (Vectors): Copyedits. (Rings): Move from lists.texi. Note that this is specific to the ring package. * doc/lispref/lists.texi (Cons Cells): Copyedits. (List Elements): Mention push. (List Variables): Mention pop. (Rings): Move to sequences.texi. * doc/lispref/strings.texi (Text Comparison): Minor qualification. * doc/lispref/symbols.texi (Definitions, Symbol Components): Mention variable scoping issues.
