For the user. grep and diff don't duplicate context lines,
for good reasons.
I can see both advantages
In my `occur-hook' I have a custom function which does not save the

It usually is, but there are files which simply won't work in one of
the two modes. And for those files, it is not a personal preference.
Why do some files not work in one
If you change the docstring, it'd be great to also change the argument

Using the same name is wise, but indeed it is `vertical-border'.

I was running "emacs.exe -Q" today and was puzzled to see that the
output of `vc-diff' talked about "conflicting specifications of output
style", until I remembered that I have an entry on ~/.cvsrc which
says: "diff -u2", and the default style for VC is "-c".
So the question is: why does Emacs by

In fact, you *can* pass values over 1.0 which produce some sort of

If you are questioning whether such properties are really "hard" today, that

`scroll-margin' has no effect when `show-trailing-whitespace' is true.
Would you please send a self-contained test case?
Please read the Bugs section in the Emacs manual, which provides

No. The bug is that if the size of the ring is larger than the
length, the current version of `ring-elements' introduces fake `nil'
elements. The delq gets rid of all nil's, fake ones and potentially
legitimate ones, because certain ring elements could _really_ be nil.
