I found a minor bug in the documentation for version 18.55.1 of GNU
emacs.  The function "kill-compilation" is called "kill-compiler"
at one point in the documentation.  Assuming "kill-compilation"
is the correct name (in other words, the code is correct and
the documentation wrong, rather than the other way around), the
following two patches will make the appropriate correction.
