I am trying to write something in GNU Emacs Lisp and would much appreciate
advice:

1.  The Manual says defvar defines a global variable intended to be advert-
ised to users.  What is the proper way to define ditto NOT to be advertised?

2.  If 2 separate E-Lisp files define variables (etc) of same name, that
sets up an interaction between them that will surely create all sorts of
insidious bugs. Is there any program that searches a set of files for such
multiple definitions?

Thank you, Mark.
