I took a look at this and had a couple of questions.
There are a number a variables that are made buffer local, that are
unique to doctor.el should those be prefixed as well?
When you mention the 'doctor specs' are you referring to the below:
(defun doctor-meaning (x) (get x 'doctor-meaning))
(defmacro doctor-put-meaning (symb val)
"Store the base meaning of a word on the property list."
(list 'put (list 'quote symb) ''doctor-meaning val))
doctor-put is called on a bunch of global symbols, but the property is
prefixed by 'doctor-', if these are the ones you want converted would
it be better to not use properties at all, or to create a variable and
store the value of the property in it instead of in a property on the
new doctor- variable?
TIA,
Josh
P.S. I haven't signed papers, so if I do this I should probably get
that process started.
