@defvar load-read-function
This variable specifies an alternate expression-reading function for
@code{load} and @code{eval-region} to use instead of @code{read}.
Instead of using this variable, it is cleaner to use another, newer
feature: to pass the function as the @var{read-function} argument to
-@code{eval-region}. @xref{Eval}.
+@code{eval-region}. @xref{Definition of eval-region,, Eval}.
@end defvar
