A comment on discord mentioned that strings as argument-descriptors are sub optimal, to which I agree.
This merge-request overhauls the
define-command
macro so that it accepts both old-style string descriptors, as well as list argument-descriptors.The following descriptors were added:
:universal
,:universal-1
,:universal-nil
,:string
,:number
,:num
,:buffer
,:other-buffer
,:file
,:new-file
and:region
with
:universal-1
andbeing aliases of:num
:universal
andrespectively.:number
I also added some documentation to the existing
:splice
descriptor and exposed the extremely helpful comment in the command-function as a doc-string.
