Hello all,

The docstring of org-store-link-functions says: “Each function will be
called in turn until one returns a non-nil value.”  However, the code of
org-store-link actually calls all the functions, and if more than one
returns a non-nil value raises a prompt asking the user to choose (and
then calls that function a second time).

Should we change the code to match the doc, or vice versa?

PS I vote for keeping the semantics described in the doc, because the
current implementation’s double calling of the selected function
means that store-link functions that have side effects will behave
unpredictably.  Imagine a store-link function for image buffers that
uploads the buffer to imgur or a similar hosting site, and stores the
http url of the uploaded file.  The current implementation would
upload the image twice.
