If you try to name and insert a keyboard macro (using M-x
name-last-kbd-macro and insert-kbd-macro), and give it a name that's a
number (or starts with a digit), it produces emacs-lisp code that
loses. Here's how to see the problem:
C-x ( h e l l o C-x ) (define the macro)
M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET 123 RET (name the macro as a number)
M-x insert-kbd-macro RET 123 RET (have emacs generate code)
You get this:
(fset '\123
"hello")
This doesn't interpret. You get:
Wrong type argument: symbolp, 123
The fix is easy. The code generated should have been:
(fset (intern "123")
"hello")
