Global variables are shared among all threads, but +a 'let' binding is thread-local. Each thread also has its own current +buffer and its own match data. + +See the chapter "Threads" in the ELisp manual for full documentation +of these facilities. + ++++ ** The new function 'file-name-case-insensitive-p' tests whether a given file is on a case-insensitive filesystem. -- 2.11.4.GIT
