+
+;;; Synched up with: Last synched with FSF 19.34, diverged since.
+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
+;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
+;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
+;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
+
+;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
+;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
+
+;;; ChangeLog:
+
+;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
+;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
+;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
+;;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
+;;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
+;; Added apropos-do-all option.
+;;; Added fast-command-apropos.
+;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
+;;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
+;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
+
+;; Optionally use configurable faces to make the output more legible.
+;; Differentiate between command, function and macro.
+;; Apropos-command (ex command-apropos) does cmd and optionally user var.
+;; Apropos shows all 3 aspects of symbols (fn, var and plist)
+;; Apropos-documentation (ex super-apropos) now finds all it should.
+;; New apropos-value snoops through all values and optionally plists.
+;; Reading DOC file doesn't load nroff.
+;; Added hypertext following of documentation, mouse-2 on variable gives value
+;; from buffer in active window.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+;; I see a degradation of maybe 10-20% only.
+;; [sb -- FSF protects the face declarations with `if window-system'
+;; I see no reason why we should do so]
