bug#18092: 24.4.50; doc string of `define-prefix-command'


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#18092: 24.4.50; doc string of `define-prefix-command'

 Define COMMAND as a prefix command.  COMMAND should be a symbol.
 A new sparse keymap is stored as COMMAND's function definition and its value.
 If a second optional argument MAPVAR is given, the map is stored as
 its value instead of as COMMAND's value; but COMMAND is still defined
 as a function.
 The third optional argument NAME, if given, supplies a menu name
 string for the map.  This is required to use the keymap as a menu.
 This function returns COMMAND.

1. It is not at all clear what the occurrence of "its" in the 4th
   sentence ("If a second...") refers to.  And this part of the doc
   string should explicitly say what MAPVAR is: a symbol that is used as
   a variable - it is given the map as value.

2. The second line of the doc string is too long - should not be more
   than 70 chars long.
