diff src/buffer.h @ 2214:e5928bec8d5d

* cmds.c (overwrite_binary_mode): Deleted; this implements the wrong feature. (Qoverwrite_mode_binary): New variable. (internal_self_insert): If current_buffer->overwrite_mode is `overwrite-mode-binary', do as overwrite_binary_mode used to. (syms_of_cmds): Remove defvar of overwrite_binary_mode; initialize Qoverwrite_mode_binary. * buffer.c (syms_of_buffer): Doc fix for overwrite_mode. * buffer.h (struct buffer): Doc fix.
