 on obarrays, but 'obarrayp' only returns 't' for obarray objects.
 'type-of' now returns 'obarray' for obarray objects.
 
-If you have code which creates obarrays as a simple Lisp vector:
-
-   (make-vector N nil)
-
-and then calls 'intern' using such an obarray as second argument, this
-will now signal a wrong-type-argument error; replace nil with zero to
-make it work again.
+Old code which incorrectly created "obarrays" as Lisp vectors filled
+with something other than 0, as in '(make-vector N nil)', will no longer
+work at all and should be rewritten to use 'obarray-make'.

 *** New function 'obarray-clear' removes all symbols from an obarray.
