bug#61784: 30.0.50; "Byte compile the file containing the current buffer


From: Stephen Berman
Subject: bug#61784: 30.0.50; "Byte compile the file containing the current buffer."

User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13)

The docstring of the function emacs-lisp-byte-compile ("Byte compile the
file containing the current buffer.") sounds infelicitous; how about
changing it to "Byte compile the file visited by the current buffer."?
If that's rejected as passive, an alternative is "Byte compile the file
the current buffer is visiting.", though that sounds more awkward to me
than "visited by" (note "the file visited by the current buffer" occurs
several times in the Emacs and Elisp manuals, and I have found no other
use of (variants of) "file containing the current buffer" in the Emacs
sources).
