;;; 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>.
;; 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 faces to make the output more legible.
;; Differentiate between command and function.
;; 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.
