*file* returns "NO_SOURCE_PATH", but the doc says it should be nil

Defect Minor In Progress Unresolved Unassigned Alexander Redington Sat, 10 Oct 2009 04:34:00 -0500 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 10:05:40 -0500 Approved Backlog Release 1.6 2 2 <p>Converted from <a href="http://www.assembla.com/spaces/clojure/tickets/196">http://www.assembla.com/spaces/clojure/tickets/196</a></p> <p>I think this is a pretty trivial docstring fix - "NO_SOURCE_PATH" has been the default value of <b>file</b> since 3dd4c1cf18ea8456b5b4aec607cd54ecfdd85eea (April 2009).</p> <p>Colin's patch still applies cleanly to latest master as of Feb 24, 2012.</p> <p>Docstring only. Screened. </p> <p>Rescreened. Still applies on latest master.</p> <p>I'd rather promise nothing than promise this forever.</p> <p>The second patch avoids promising the return value. For clarity, it does mention the lack of guarantee instead of omitting any mention.</p> <p>Patch applies cleanly and makes documentation more correct.</p> Approval Ok Global Rank Patch Code Waiting On richhickey
