Yes, the CODING-SYSTEM-OR-MUSTBENEW argument is ugly. No, I don’t see a better approach to this which would be compatible with GNU, given that our CODING-SYSTEM argument was already in 21.4. APPROVE COMMIT NOTE: This patch has been committed. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2007-11-14 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * code-files.el (write-region): Provide a new arg, CODING-SYSTEM-OR-MUSTBENEW, for compatibility both with GNU (where it has the MUSTBENEW meaning) and earlier XEmacs code (where it has the CODING-SYSTEM meaning). * files.el: * files.el (normal-backup-enable-predicate): * files.el (auto-save-file-name-transforms): Correct the docstrings of #'normal-backup-enable-predicate, #'auto-save-file-name-transforms. * files.el (make-temp-file): New. Merge from GNU. * subr.el: Document that #'make-temp-name is now in files.el. src/ChangeLog addition: 2007-11-14 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * editfns.c (vars_of_editfns): Correct the docstring of user-full-name. * fileio.c: * fileio.c (Fmake_temp_name): Document that make-temp-file is available and the best approach to this. * fileio.c (Fwrite_region_internal): Take a new arg, MUSTBENEW, to error if the file to be written already exists. * fileio.c (auto_save_1): Update a call to Fwrite_region_internal to pass the new argument. * fileio.c (syms_of_fileio): Provide 'excl as a symbol, for the calls to write-region-internal.
