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 . ;; History: ;; 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.
