(tabulated-list-print): New optional argument, UPDATE. If
non-nil, the list is printed by only adding and deleting the
changed entries, instead of erasing the whole buffer. This method
is much faster when few or no entries have changed.
* doc/lispref/modes.texi (Tabulated List Mode): Document it.
* etc/NEWS: Document it.
* lisp/frame.el (gui-method--name, gui-method, gui-method-define)

gui-selection-owner-p method.
(gui-backend-selection-exists-p): New cl-generic to replace
gui-selection-exists-p method. Adjust all callers.

window-system spec even when unsupported.
* lisp/simple.el (deactivate-mark): Use new gui-backend-* functions.
* lisp/startup.el (handle-args-function, window-system-initialization):
Use cl-defgeneric.
(command-line): Adjust calls accordingly.
* lisp/term/ns-win.el (ns-window-system-initialization): Turn into
a window-system-initialization method.
(handle-args-function, frame-creation-function): Use cl-defmethod.
(gui-set-selection, gui-selection-owner-p, gui-selection-exists-p)

a gui-backend-get-selection method.
(gui-selection-exists-p, gui-selection-owner-p, gui-set-selection):

a window-system-initialization method.
(handle-args-function, frame-creation-function): Use cl-defmethod.
(gui-set-selection, gui-selection-owner-p, gui-selection-exists-p)

(gui-set-selection, gui-selection-owner-p, gui-selection-exists-p)

* lisp/term/xterm.el (xterm--set-selection): Turn into
a gui-backend-set-selection method.
* src/nsselect.m (Fns_selection_exists_p): Remove unused arg `terminal'.
(Fns_selection_owner_p): Remove unused arg `terminal'.
(Fns_get_selection): Remove unused args `time_stamp' and `terminal'.
(package--update-selected-packages): New function.
(package-menu-execute): Use it before starting the transaction,
this way the list of selected packages is updated even when the
transaction fails.
(package-menu--perform-transaction): Don't edit selected-packages.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-generic.el (cl-generic-define): Don't throw away
previously defined methods.
(cl-generic-define-method): Let-bind purify-flag instead of using `fset'.
(cl--generic-prefill-dispatchers): Only define during compilation.

it.
(package-menu--perform-transaction): Don't do any messaging.
* lisp/subr.el (let-when-compile): New let-like macro that makes its
bindings known to macros like `eval-when-compile' in the body.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el: Change the top-level `pcase-let' to a
`let-when-compile'. Also comment out the unused lexical var
`el-kws-re'.
The change greatly improves readability, while providing almost the
same (even shorter) byte code: instead of pre-evaluating 10 variables,
tossing them into a list, and destructuring that list a full screen
page later, the variables are simply bound as they are evaluated,
wrapped individually in `eval-when-compile'.
(package--used-elsewhere-p): New optional arg, ALL, and return
package-desc objects instead of names.
(package-delete): Update accordingly.
(describe-package-1): Describe which packages require the package.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/checkdoc.el (checkdoc-error): When `noninteractive'
is non-nil, echo the error with `warn'.
How it can be used in -batch:
(with-current-buffer (find-file "checkdoc.el")
(checkdoc-current-buffer t))
(tabulated-list-init-header): Document new behavior.
(tabulated-list-print-fake-header): No nothing if
`tabulated-list--header-string' is nil.

dispatchers table with various entries.

* lisp/emacs-lisp/seq.el (emacs-lisp-mode-hook): Use add-hook.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/seq.el: The pcase pattern now matches only if the
object is a sequence, and binds each element of ARGS to the
corresponding element of the sequence.
(cl--generic-mandatory-args): Remove.
(cl--generic-split-args): New function.
(cl-generic-define, cl--generic-lambda): Use it.
(cl-generic-define-method): Use it as well, and add support for
context args.

(cl--generic-cache-miss): `dispatch-arg' can now be a context expression.
(cl--generic-dispatchers): Pre-fill.
* test/automated/cl-generic-tests.el (sm-generic-test-12-context): New test.
An external package is any installed package that's not built-in
and not from `package-user-dir', which usually means it's from an
entry in `package-directory-list'. They are treated much like
built-in packages, in that they cannot be through the Package Menu
deleted and are not considered for upgrades.
(package-desc-status): Identify if a package is installed outside
`package-user-dir'.
(package-menu--print-info-simple)
(package-menu--status-predicate): Add support for it.
* etc/NEWS: Document it.

(testcover--read): Rename from testcover-read. Change calling convention.
Use edebug-read-and-maybe-wrap-form now that edebug-read is gone.
(testcover-start): Use add-function. Move edebug-all-defs binding to
testcover--read.
(testcover-this-defun): Tighten scope of edebug-all-defs binding.
(testcover-mark): Remove unused var `item'.
* src/lread.c (syms_of_lread): Default load-read-function to `read'.

(semantic-grammar-header, semantic-grammar-footer): Use it.
(semantic-grammar--lex-block-specs): Remove unused var `block-spec'.
(semantic-grammar-file-regexp): Refine regexp.
(semantic-grammar-eldoc-get-macro-docstring):
Use elisp-get-fnsym-args-string when available.

instead of the old eldoc-* names.
* lisp/emacs-lisp/eldoc.el (eldoc-docstring-format-sym-doc): Move back
from elisp-mode.el. Tweak calling convention.
* lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el (package-user-dir): Declare.
