Bug#713038: yorick: emacs "\\.i$" pattern

[Kevin Ryde]

Package: yorick
Version: 2.2.02+dfsg-6
Severity: minor
File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50yorick-auto.el

50yorick-auto.el sets up pattern

    "\\.i$"

in auto-mode-alist.  Usually entries there should be

    "\\.i\\'"

to match only end-of-string, not a newline.  Of course filenames
shouldn't normally have newlines, but it's end-of-string which is
wanted.

The assoc test for an existing ".i" entry in particular should be
"\\.i\\'" since that's what emacs23 and up has built-in.  I'm not sure
if it's a good idea to modify an existing entry.  As a suggestion
perhaps simply an unconditional

    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.i\\'" . yorick-mode))

The first entry for ".i" will have precedence and an expert user will be
able to see the choices.
