- ;; Introduction
- ;; ============
- ;; This program is for lisp package authors and is used to ease
- ;; reporting of bugs. When envoked, reporter-submit-bug-report will
- ;; set up a mail buffer with the appropriate bug report address,
- ;; including a lisp expression the maintainer of the package can use
- ;; to completely reproduce the environment in which the bug was
- ;; observed (e.g. by using eval-last-sexp). This package is especially
- ;; useful for my development of c++-mode.el, which is highly dependent
- ;; on its configuration variables.
- ;;
- ;; Do a "C-h f reporter-submit-bug-report" for more information.

- passed to reporter-dump-variable for insertion into the mail buffer.
