Don’t use “constant” for values you shouldn’t change
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.
