[comp.emacs] GNU Suggestion -- buffer-read-only-hook

benson@seagoon.ksr.com (Benson Margulies) (08/20/87)

It would be handy if there was a hook function list on read-only
buffer errors. The obvious implementation is in
barf-if-buffer-read-only.  Too bad it is coded in C.

One use is to detect a read only image of an RCS file and offer a
check-out at the time that you try to modify it.
