-;;; unused.el --- editing commands in GNU Emacs that turned out not to be used
-;;; This file is in the public domain, as it was distributed in
-;;; 1985 or 1986 without a copyright notice.  Written by RMS.
-
-;; This file is part of GNU Emacs.
-
-;; Maintainer: FSF
-;; Keywords: emulations
-
-;;; Commentary:
-
-;; These were added with an eye to making possible a more CCA-compatible
-;; command set; but that turned out not to be interesting.
-
-;;; Code:
-
-(defun mark-beginning-of-buffer ()
-  "Set mark at the beginning of the buffer."
-  (interactive)
-  (push-mark (point-min)))
-
-(defun mark-end-of-buffer ()
-  "Set mark at the end of the buffer."
-  (interactive)
-  (push-mark (point-max)))
-
-(defun upcase-char (arg)
-  "Uppercasify ARG chars starting from point.  Point doesn't move"
-  (interactive "p")
-  (save-excursion
-    (upcase-region (point) (progn (forward-char arg) (point)))))
-
-(defun forward-to-word (arg)
-  "Move forward until encountering the beginning of a word.
-With argument, do this that many times."
-  (interactive "p")
-  (or (re-search-forward (if (> arg 0) "\\W\\b" "\\b\\W") nil t arg)
-      (goto-char (if (> arg 0) (point-max) (point-min)))))
-
-(defun backward-to-word (arg)
-  "Move backward until encountering the end of a word.
-With argument, do this that many times."
-  (interactive "p")
-  (forward-to-word (- arg)))
