Inspired by patch proposed by Dmitry Gutov (Bug#40671#393)
and by further comments by him and by Michael Heerdegen
in the same bug report.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (setcar):
Don’t push mutability here.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms, Quoting)
(Backquote):
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (Modifying Lists):
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types, Mutability):
* doc/lispref/sequences.texi (Array Functions, Vectors):
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (String Basics, Modifying Strings):
Don’t use the word “constant” to describe all values that
a program should not change.
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Mutability):
Rename from “Constants and Mutability”. All uses changed.
In a footnote, contrast the Emacs behavior with that of Common
Lisp, Python, etc. for clarity, and say the goal is to be nicer.
This change was inspired by comments from Štěpán Němec in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2020-04/msg01063.html
* doc/lispref/objects.texi (Lisp Data Types): Mention mutability.
(Constants and mutability): New section.
* doc/lispintro/emacs-lisp-intro.texi (Lists diagrammed)
(Indent Tabs Mode): Improve wording.
* doc/lispref/eval.texi (Self-Evaluating Forms):
Say that they return constants.
* doc/lispref/lists.texi (Sets And Lists):
Fix memql mistake/confusion that I recently introduced.
This patch builds on a suggested patch by Mattias Engdegård
and on further comments by Eli Zaretskii.
Original bug report by Kevin Vigouroux (Bug#40671).

* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Support %o, %x, and %X on
finite floats less than zero or greater than UINTMAX_MAX.
* test/src/editfns-tests.el (format-%x-large-float)
(read-large-integer, format-%o-negative-float):
Adjust tests to match extended behavior.
Rename the latter test from format-%o-invalid-float,
since the float is no longer invalid.
* test/src/editfns-tests.el (format-%x-large-float)
(read-large-integer): Test this.
Optionally treat integers as signed numbers with %o
and %x format specifiers, instead of treating them as
a machine-dependent two’s complement representation.
This option is more machine-independent, allows formats
like "#x%x" to be useful for reading later, and is
better-insulated for future changes involving bignums.
Setting the new variable ‘binary-as-unsigned’ to nil
enables the new behavior (Bug#32252).
This is a simplified version of the change proposed in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2018-07/msg00763.html
I simplified that proposal by omitting bitwidth modifiers, as
I could not find an any example uses in the Emacs source code
that needed them and doing them correctly would have been
quite a bit more work for apparently little benefit.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):
Document that %x and %o format negative integers in a
platform-dependent way. Also, document how to format
numbers so that the same values can be read back in.
* etc/NEWS: Document the change.
* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Treat integers as signed
numbers even with %o and %x, if binary-as-unsigned is nil.
Support the + and space flags with %o and %x, since they’re
about signs.
(syms_of_editfns): New variable binary-as-unsigned.
* test/src/editfns-tests.el (read-large-integer):
Test that maximal integers can be read after printing
with all integer formats, if binary-as-unsigned is nil.
Problem reported by Paul Pogonyshev (Bug#31938).
* src/editfns.c: Include math.h, for trunc.
(styled_format): For %d, truncate floating-point numbers and
convert -0 to 0, going back to how Emacs 26 did things.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):
Document behavior of %o, %d, %x, %X on floating-point numbers.
* src/floatfns.c (trunc) [!HAVE_TRUNC]: Rename from emacs_trunc
and make it an extern function, so that editfns.c can use it.
All callers changed.
* test/src/editfns-tests.el (format-%d-float): New test.
* src/fns.c (Fstring_distance): Doc fix.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Text Comparison): Document
'string-distance'.
* etc/NEWS: Fix wording and mark as documented in the manuals.
* test/src/fns-tests.el (test-string-distance): Move from
subr-tests.el and rename.

Although the Lisp manual said that ‘format’ returns a
newly-allocated string, this was not true for a few cases like
(format "%s" ""), and fixing the documentation to allow reuse of
arguments lets us improve performance in common cases like
(format "foo") and (format "%s" "foo") (Bug#28625).
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):

Just use Fformat or Fformat_message, as that’s simpler and no
longer makes unnecessary copies.
* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Remove last argument, as it
is no longer needed: all callers now want it to behave as if it
were true. All remaining callers changed. Make this function
static again. Simplify the function now that we no longer
need to worry about whether the optimization is allowed.

Add discussion about how to output grave accent and apostrophe in
documentation and messages. Adjust xrefs to point to this section
when appropriate.
* etc/NEWS: text-quoting-style semantics have not changed.
This is a partial reversion of yesterday's commit by the same author, which
changed the meaning of nil and introduced the new value t.
* src/doc.c (text_quoting_style, text-quoting-style)

grave rather than nil to inhibit translation of quotes.
* doc/lispref/help.texi (Keys in Documentation): Revert the description of the
proposed new default, t.
A value of nil for text-quoting-style now means "no translation". t means
"Use curved quotes if displayable".

from a variable to a user option. Describe its changed set of values. State
that it can be customized freely.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Formatting Strings):
* src/editfns.c (Fformat): Format field numbers no longer need
to be unique, reverting the previous doc change since that has
now been fixed. Also, document that %% should not have modifiers.
* src/editfns.c (styled_format): Improve performance. Remove
the need for the new prepass over the format string, by using
a typically-more-generous bound for the info array size.
Initialize the info array lazily. Move string inspection to
the same area to help caching. Avoid the need for a
converted_to_string bitfield by using EQ. Cache arg in a
local and avoid some potential aliasing issues to help the
compiler. Info array is now 0-origin, not 1-origin.
