+Like in the case of @code{let}, the @var{value} forms are evaluated in

+Therefore, avoid binding the same @var{place} more than once in a

Since generalized variables look like lists, @code{let}'s shorthand
of using @samp{foo} for @samp{(foo nil)} as a @var{binding} would
be ambiguous in @code{cl-letf} and is not allowed.

@vindex ediff-cleanup-hook
This hook is run just before @code{ediff-quit-hook}. This is a good
place to do various cleanups, such as deleting the variant buffers.
-Ediff provides a function, @code{ediff-janitor}, as one such possible
-hook, which you can add to @code{ediff-cleanup-hook} with
-@code{add-hook}.
+Ediff provides a helper function, @code{ediff-janitor}, that you can

@findex ediff-janitor
This function kills buffers A, B, and, possibly, C, if these buffers aren't
