Either I didn't see or somehow managed to delete it inadvertently,
since I don't have it in my INBOX. Sorry for that.
Reviewing it now, I agree with the suggested changes, but have a few
questions/requests:
. Please replace "@code{configure}" with "@file{configure}" or
"@command{configure}".
. I don't understand this change:
-@item F@var{retcode},@var{errno},@var{Ctrl-C flag};@var{call specific attachment}
+@item F@var{retcode},@var{errno},@var{Ctrl-C flag};@var{call specific
+attachment}
Maybe you wanted to say "call-specific attachment"? if so, I agree.
. Since this patch was posted, the section names were rewritten to
use a consistent capitalization, but this one doesn't:
+@subsection Protocol-specific representation of datatypes
With these gotchas taken care of, Bob, please commit the patch, and
thanks.
And thanks to Daniel for the heads-up.
