#emacs #advice

hey, in my super late (I swear, I got permission) #emacsconf half our talk recording, I want to reference McCarthy's Programs With Common Sense (1958/1959). https://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/mcc59.pdf . In McCarthy's the-six-things-lisp-was-intended-to-be-good-at, "programming the advice taker (hypothetical program)".

But I want to tread carefully around the term advice in emacs, which I think has a specific and common meaning; does anyone have a book or link for me to look over? #mastoquestions
