Dear Bug Team!
When using the package 'idlwave' to edit *.pro files, I get the error
message "Symbol's function definition is void: line-beginning-position"
This occurs when pressing TAB on a line following a line ending with a
continutation character, '$'. The following workaround in init.el solves
the problem:
(unless (fboundp 'line-beginning-position)
(defalias 'line-beginning-position 'point-at-bol))
