-
-   An Emacs overlay demarcates a region of text in a buffer, often
-giving it a different face or changing other properties for that
-region. There are many circumstance in which it might be useful to
-create, update, and delete overlays automatically when text matches
-some criterion, specified for example by regular expressions. This is
-what the auto-overlays package addresses. It is intended as an Elisp
-library, providing functions to be used by other Elisp packages, so
-does not itself define any new interactive commands or minor modes.
-
-This documentation is an extract from the extensive Auto Overlays
-Manual that comes with the package. For more detailed information and
-examples, please read the manual.
-
-
-1 Overview
-**********
-
-The auto-overlays package automatically creates, updates and destroys
-overlays based on regular expression matches in the buffer text. The
-overlay is created when text is typed that matches an auto-overlay
-regexp, and is destroyed if and when the matching text is changed so
-that it no longer matches.
-
-   The regexps are grouped into sets, and any number of different sets
-of regexps can be active in the same buffer simultaneously. Regexps in
-different sets are completely independent, and each set can be activated
-and deactivated independently (*note Defining Regexps::). This allows
-different Emacs modes to simultaneously make use of auto-overlays in the
-same buffer.
-
-   There are different "classes" of auto-overlay, used to define
-different kinds of overlay behaviour. Some classes only require a single
-regexp, others require separate regexps to define the start and end of
-the overlay (*note Defining Regexps::). Any additional regexps, beyond
-the minimum requirements, act as alternatives; if more than one of the
-regexps matches overlapping regions of text, the one that appears
-earlier in the list will take precedence. The predefined regexp classes
-are: `word', `line', `self', `nested' and `flat', but the auto-overlay
-package can easily be extended with new classes.
-
-`word'
-     These are used to define overlays that cover the text matched by
-     the regexp itself, so require a single regexp. An example use
-     would be to create overlays covering single words.
-
-`line'
-     These are used to define overlays that stretch from the text
-     matching the regexp to the end of the line, and require a single
-     regexp to define the start of the overlay. An example use would be
-     to create overlays covering single-line comments in programming
-     languages such as c.
-
-`self'
-     These are used to define overlays that stretch from one regexp
-     match to the next match for the same regexp, so naturally require
-     a single regexp. An example use would be to create overlays
-     covering strings delimited by `""'.
-
-     Note that for efficiency reasons, `self' overlays are _not_ fully
-     updated when a new match is found. Instead, when a modification is
-     subsequently made at any position in the buffer after the new
-     match, the overlays are updated _up to_ that position. The update
-     occurs just _before_ the modification is made. Therefore, the
-     overlays at a given buffer position will not necessarily be
-     correct until a modification is made at or after that position
-     (*note To-Do::).
-
-`nested'
-     These are used to define overlays that start and end at different
-     regexp matches, and that can be nested one inside another. This
-     class requires separate start and end regexps. An example use
-     would be to create overlays between matching braces `{}'.
-
-`flat'
-     These are used to define overlays that start and end at different
-     regexp matches, but that can not be nested. Extra start matches
-     within one of these overlays are ignored. This class requires
-     separate start and end regexps. An example use would be to create
-     overlays covering multi-line comments in code, e.g. c++ block
-     comments delimited by `/*' and `*/'.
-
-   By default, the entire text matching a regexp acts as the
-"delimeter". For example, a `word' overlay will cover all the text
-matching its regexp, and a `nested' overlay will start at the end of
-the text matching its start regexp. Sometimes it is useful to be able
-to have only part of the regexp match act as the delimeter. This can be
-done by grouping that part of the regexp (*note Defining Regexps::).
-Overlays will then start and end at the text matching the group,
-instead of the text matching the entire regexp.
-
-   Of course, automatically creating overlays isn't much use without
-some way of setting their properties too. Overlay properties can be
-defined along with the regexp, and are applied to any overlays created
-by a match to that regexp. Certain properties have implications for
-auto-overlay behaviour.
-
-`priority'
-     This is a standard Emacs overlay property (*note Overlay
-     Properties: (elisp)Overlay Properties.), but it is also used to
-     determine which regexp takes precedence when two or more regexps
-     in the same auto-overlay definition match overlapping regions of
-     text. It is also used to determine which regexp's properties take
-     precedence for overlays that are defined by separate start and end
-     matches.
-
-`exclusive'
-     Normally, different auto-overlay regexps coexist, and act
-     completely independently of one-another. However, if an
-     auto-overlay has non-nil `exclusive' and `priority' properties,
-     regexp matches within the overlay are ignored if they have lower
-     priority. An example use is ignoring other regexp matches within
-     comments in code.
-
-
-2 Auto-Overlay Functions
-************************
-
-To use auto-overlays in an Elisp package, you must load the overlay
-classes that you require by including lines of the form
-     (require 'auto-overlay-CLASS)
-   near the beginning of your package, where CLASS is the class name.
-The standard classes are: `word', `line', `self', `nested' and `flat'
-(*note Overview::), though new classes can easily be added (*note
-Extending the Auto-Overlays Package::).
-
-   Sometimes it is useful for a package to make use of auto-overlays if
-any are defined, without necessarily requiring them. To facilitate
-this, the relevant functions can be loaded separately from the rest of
-the auto-overlays package with the line
-     (require 'auto-overlay-common)
-   This provides all the functions related to searching for overlays and
-retrieving overlay properties. *Note Searching for Overlays::. Note that
-there is no need to include this line if any auto-overlay classes are
-`require'd, though it will do no harm.
-
-   This section describes the functions that are needed in order to make
-use of auto-overlays in an Elisp package. It does _not_ describe
-functions related to extending the auto-overlays package. *Note
-Extending the Auto-Overlays Package::.
-
-2.1 Defining Regexps
-====================
-
-An auto-overlay definition is a list of the form:
-     (CLASS &optional :id ENTRY-ID REGEXP1 REGEXP2 ...)
-   CLASS is one of the regexp classes described in the previous section
-(*note Overview::). The optional `:id' property should be a symbol that
-can be used to uniquely identify the auto-overlay definition.
-
-   Each REGEXP defines one of the regexps that make up the auto-overlay
-definition. It should be a list of the form
-     (RGXP &optional :edge EDGE :id SUBENTRY-ID @rest PROPERTY1 PROPERTY2 ...)
-   The `:edge' property should be one of the symbols `'start' or
-`'end', and determines which edge of the auto-overlay this regexp
-corresponds to. If `:edge' is not specified, it is assumed to be
-`'start'. Auto-overlay classes that do not require separate `start' and
-`end' regexps ignore this property. The `:id' property should be a
-symbol that can be used to uniquely identify the regexp. Any further
-elements in the list are cons cells of the form `(property . value)',
-where PROPERTY is an overlay property name (a symbol) and VALUE its
-value. In its simplest form, RGXP is a single regular expression.
-
-   If only part of the regexp should act as the delimeter (*note
-Overview::), RGXP should instead be a cons cell:
-     (RX . GROUP)
-   where RX is a regexp that contains at least one group (*note Regular
-Expressions: (elisp)Regular Expressions.), and GROUP is an integer
-identifying which group should act as the delimeter.
-
-   If the overlay class requires additional groups to be specified,
-RGXP should instead be a list:
-     (RX GROUP0 GROUP1 ...)
-   where RX is a regexp. The first GROUP0 still specifies the part that
-acts as the delimeter, as before. If the entire regexp should act as
-the delimeter, GROUP0 must still be supplied but should be set to 0
-(meaning the entire regexp). None of the standard classes make use of
-any additional groups, but extensions to the auto-overlays package that
-define new classes may. *Note Extending the Auto-Overlays Package::.
-
-   The following functions are used to load and unload regexp
-definitions: 
-
-`(auto-overlay-load-definition SET-ID DEFINITION &optional POS)'
-     Load a new auto-overlay DEFINITION, which should be a list of the
-     form described above, into the set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID. The optional parameter POS determines where in the set's
-     regexp list the new regexp is inserted. If it is `nil', the regexp
-     is added at the end. If it is `t', the regexp is added at the
-     beginning. If it is an integer, the regexp is added at that
-     position in the list. Whilst the position in the list has no
-     effect on overlay behaviour, it does determine the order in which
-     regexps are checked, so can affect efficiency.
-
-`(auto-overlay-load-regexp SET-ID ENTRY-ID REGEXP &optional POS)'
-     Load a new REGEXP, which should be a list of the form described
-     above, into the auto-overlay definition identified by the symbol
-     ENTRY-ID, in the set identified by the symbol SET-ID. REGEXP
-     should be a list of the form described above.  The optional POS
-     determines the position of the regexp in the list of regexps
-     defining the auto-overlay, which can be significant for overlay
-     behaviour since it determines which regexp takes precedence when
-     two match the same text.
-
-`(auto-overlay-unload-set SET-ID)'
-     Unload the entire regexp set identified by the symbol SET-ID.
-
-`(auto-overlay-unload-definition SET-ID ENTRY-ID)'
-     Unload the auto-overlay definition identified by the symbol
-     ENTRY-ID from the set identified by the symbol SET-ID.
-
-`(auto-overlay-unload-regexp SET-ID ENTRY-ID SUBENTRY-ID)'
-     Unload the auto-overlay regexp identified by the symbol
-     SUBENTRY-ID from the auto-overlay definition identified by the
-     symbol ENTRY-ID in the set identified by the symbol SET-ID.
-
-`(auto-overlay-share-regexp-set SET-ID FROM-BUFFER @optional TO-BUFFER)'
-     Share the set of regexp definitions identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in buffer `from-buffer' with the buffer TO-BUFFER, or the
-     current buffer if TO-BUFFER is null. The regexp set becomes common
-     to both buffers, and any changes made to it in one buffer, such as
-     loading and unloading regexp definitions, are also reflected in
-     the other buffer. However, the regexp set can still be enabled and
-     disabled independently in both buffers. The same regexp set can be
-     shared between any number of buffers. To remove a shared regexp
-     set from one of the buffers, simply unload the entire set from that
-     buffer using `auto-overlay-unload-regexp'. The regexp set will
-     remain defined in all the other buffers it was shared with.
-
-2.2 Starting and Stopping Auto-Overlays
-=======================================
-
-A set of regexps is not active until it has been "started", and can be
-deactivated by "stopping" it. When a regexp set is activated, the
-entire buffer is scanned for regexp matches, and the corresponding
-overlays created. Similarly, when a set is deactivated, all the overlays
-are deleted. Note that regexp definitions can be loaded and unloaded
-whether the regexp set is active or inactive, and that deactivating a
-regexp set does _not_ delete its regexp definitions.
-
-   Since scanning the whole buffer for regexp matches can take some
-time, especially for large buffers, auto-overlay data can be saved to an
-auxiliary file so that the overlays can be restored more quickly if the
-same regexp set is subsequently re-activated. Of course, if the text in
-the buffer is modified whilst the regexp set is disabled, or the regexp
-definitions differ from those that were active when the overlay data was
-saved, the saved data will be out of date. Auto-overlays automatically
-checks if the text has been modified and, if it has, ignores the saved
-data and re-scans the buffer. However, no check is made to ensure the
-regexp definitions used in the buffer and saved data are consistent
-(*note To-Do::); the saved data will be used even if the definitions
-have changed.
-
-   The usual time to save and restore overlay data is when a regexp set
-is deactivated or activated. The auxilliary file name is then
-constructed automatically from the buffer name and the set-id. However,
-auto-overlays can also be saved and restored manually.
-
-`(auto-overlay-start SET-ID @optional BUFFER SAVE-FILE NO-REGEXP-CHECK)'
-     Activate the auto-overlay regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in BUFFER, or the current buffer if the latter is `nil'. If
-     there is an file called `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the
-     containing up-to-date overlay data, it will be used to restore the
-     auto-overlays (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file visited by the
-     buffer, or the buffer name itself if there is none). Otherwise, the
-     entire buffer will be scanned for regexp matches.
-
-     The string SAVE-FILE specifies the where to look for the file of
-     saved overlay data. If it is nil, it defaults to the current
-     directory. If it is a string specifying a relative path, then it is
-     relative to the current directory, whereas an absolute path
-     specifies exactly where to look. If it is a string specifying a
-     file name (with or without a full path, relative or absolute),
-     then it overrides the default file name and/or location. Any other
-     value of SAVE-FILE will cause the file of overlay data to be
-     ignored, even if it exists.
-
-     If the overlays are being loaded from a file, but optional argument
-     no-regexp-check is non-nil, the file of saved overlays will be
-     used, but no check will be made to ensure regexp refinitions are
-     the same as when the overlays were saved.
-
-`(auto-overlay-stop SET-ID @optional BUFFER SAVE-FILE LEAVE-OVERLAYS)'
-     Deactivate the auto-overlay regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in BUFFER, or the current buffer if the latter is `nil'.
-     All corresponding overlays will be deleted (unless the
-     LEAVE-OVERLAYS option is non-nil, which should only be used if the
-     buffer is about to be killed), but the regexp definitions are
-     preserved and can be reactivated later.
-
-     If SAVE-FILE is non-nil, overlay data will be saved in an
-     auxilliary file called `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the
-     current directory, to speed up subsequent reactivation of the
-     regexp set in the same buffer (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file
-     visited by the buffer, or the buffer name itself if there is
-     none). If SAVE-FILE is a string, it overrides the default save
-     location, overriding either the directory if it only specifies a
-     path (relative paths are relative to the current directory), or
-     the file name if it only specifies a file name, or both.
-
-`(auto-overlay-save-overlays SET-ID @optional BUFFER FILE)'
-     Save auto-overlay data for the regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in BUFFER, or the current buffer if `nil', to an auxilliary
-     file called FILE. If FILE is nil, the overlay data are saved to a
-     file called `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the current
-     directory (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file visited by the
-     buffer, or the buffer name itself if there is none). Note that
-     this is the only name that will be recognized by
-     `auto-overlay-start'.
-
-`(auto-overlay-load-overlays SET-ID @optional BUFFER FILE NO-REGEXP-CHECK)'
-     Load auto-overlay data for the regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID into BUFFER, or the current buffer if `nil', from an
-     auxilliary file called FILE. If FILE is nil, it attempts to load
-     the overlay data from a file called
-     `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the current directory
-     (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file visited by the buffer, or the
-     buffer name itself if there is none). If NO-REGEXP-CHECK is
-     no-nil, the saved overlays will be loaded even if different regexp
-     definitions were active when the overlays were saved. Returns `t'
-     if the overlays were successfully loaded, `nil' otherwise.
-
-2.3 Searching for Overlays
-==========================
-
-Auto-overlays are just normal Emacs overlays, so any of the standard
-Emacs functions can be used to search for overlays and retrieve overlay
-properties. The auto-overlays package provides some additional
-functions.
-
-`(auto-overlays-at-point @optional POINT PROP-TEST INACTIVE)'
-     Return a list of overlays overlapping POINT, or the point if POINT
-     is null. The list includes _all_ overlays, not just auto-overlays
-     (but see below). The list can be filtered to only return overlays
-     with properties matching criteria specified by PROP-TEST. This
-     should be a list defining a property test, with one of the
-     following forms (or a list of such lists, if more than one
-     property test is required):
-          (FUNCTION PROPERTY)
-          (FUNCTION PROPERTY VALUE)
-          (FUNCTION (PROPERTY1 PROPERTY2 ...) (VALUE1 VALUE2 ...))
-     where FUNCTION is a function, PROPERTY is an overlay property name
-     (a symbol), and VALUE can be any value or lisp expression. For
-     each overlay, first the values corresponding to the PROPERTY names
-     are retrieved from the overlay and any VALUEs that are lisp
-     expressions are evaluated. Then FUNCTION is called with the
-     property values followed by the other values as its arguments. The
-     test is satisfied if the result is non-nil, otherwise it fails.
-     Tests are evaluated in order, but only up to the first failure.
-     Only overlays that satisfy all property tests are returned.
-
-     All auto-overlays are given a non-nil `auto-overlay' property, so
-     to restrict the list to auto-overlays, PROP-TEST should include
-     the following property test:
-          ('identity 'auto-overlay)
-     For efficiency reasons, the auto-overlays package sometimes leaves
-     overlays hanging around in the buffer even when they should have
-     been deleted. These are marked with a non-nil `inactive' property.
-     By default, `auto-overlays-at-point' ignores these. A non-nil
-     INACTIVE will override this, causing inactive overlays to be
-     included in the returned list (assuming they pass all property
-     tests).
-
-`(auto-overlays-in START END @optional PROP-TEST WITHIN INACTIVE)'
-     Return a list of overlays overlapping the region between START and
-     END. The PROP-TEST and INACTIVE arguments have the same behaviour
-     as in `auto-overlays-at-point', above. If WITHIN is non-nil, only
-     overlays that are entirely within the region from START to END
-     will be returned, not overlays that extend outside that region.
-
-`(auto-overlay-highest-priority-at-point @optional POINT PROP-TEST)'
-     Return the highest priority overlay at POINT (or the point, of
-     POINT is null). The PROP-TEST argument has the same behaviour as
-     in `auto-overlays-at-point', above. An overlay's priority is
-     determined by the value of its `priority' property (*note Overlay
-     Properties: (elisp)Overlay Properties.). If two overlays have the
-     same priority, the innermost one takes precedence (i.e. the one
-     that begins later in the buffer, or if they begin at the same
-     point the one that ends earlier; if two overlays have the same
-     priority and extend over the same region, there is no way to
-     predict which will be returned).
-
-`(auto-overlay-local-binding SYMBOL @optional POINT)'
-     Return the "overlay-local" binding of SYMBOL at POINT (or the
-     point if POINT is null), or the current local binding if there is
-     no overlay binding. An "overlay-local" binding for SYMBOL is the
-     value of the overlay property called SYMBOL. If more than one
-     overlay at POINT has a non-nil SYMBOL property, the value from the
-     highest priority overlay is returned (see
-     `auto-overlay-highest-priority-at-point', above, for an
-     explanation of "highest priority").

-1 Overview
-**********
-
-The auto-overlays package automatically creates, updates and destroys
-overlays based on regular expression matches in the buffer text. The
-overlay is created when text is typed that matches an auto-overlay
-regexp, and is destroyed if and when the matching text is changed so
-that it no longer matches.
-
-   The regexps are grouped into sets, and any number of different sets
-of regexps can be active in the same buffer simultaneously. Regexps in
-different sets are completely independent, and each set can be activated
-and deactivated independently (*note Defining Regexps::). This allows
-different Emacs modes to simultaneously make use of auto-overlays in the
-same buffer.
-
-   There are different "classes" of auto-overlay, used to define
-different kinds of overlay behaviour. Some classes only require a single
-regexp, others require separate regexps to define the start and end of
-the overlay (*note Defining Regexps::). Any additional regexps, beyond
-the minimum requirements, act as alternatives; if more than one of the
-regexps matches overlapping regions of text, the one that appears
-earlier in the list will take precedence. The predefined regexp classes
-are: `word', `line', `self', `nested' and `flat', but the auto-overlays
-package can easily be extended with new classes.
-
-`word'
-     These are used to define overlays that cover the text matched by
-     the regexp itself, so require a single regexp. An example use
-     would be to create overlays covering single words.
-
-`line'
-     These are used to define overlays that stretch from the text
-     matching the regexp to the end of the line, and require a single
-     regexp to define the start of the overlay. An example use would be
-     to create overlays covering single-line comments in programming
-     languages such as c.
-
-`self'
-     These are used to define overlays that stretch from one regexp
-     match to the next match for the same regexp, so naturally require
-     a single regexp. An example use would be to create overlays
-     covering strings delimited by `""'.
-
-     Note that for efficiency reasons, `self' overlays are _not_ fully
-     updated when a new match is found. Instead, when a modification is
-     subsequently made at any position in the buffer after the new
-     match, the overlays are updated _up to_ that position. The update
-     occurs just _before_ the modification is made. Therefore, the
-     overlays at a given buffer position will not necessarily be
-     correct until a modification is made at or after that position
-     (*note To-Do::).
-
-`nested'
-     These are used to define overlays that start and end at different
-     regexp matches, and that can be nested one inside another. This
-     class requires separate start and end regexps. An example use
-     would be to create overlays between matching braces `{}'.
-
-`flat'
-     These are used to define overlays that start and end at different
-     regexp matches, but that can not be nested. Extra start matches
-     within one of these overlays are ignored. This class requires
-     separate start and end regexps. An example use would be to create
-     overlays covering multi-line comments in code, e.g. c++ block
-     comments delimited by `/*' and `*/'.
-
-   By default, the entire text matching a regexp acts as the
-"delimeter". For example, a `word' overlay will cover all the text
-matching its regexp, and a `nested' overlay will start at the end of
-the text matching its start regexp. Sometimes it is useful to be able
-to have only part of the regexp match act as the delimeter. This can be
-done by grouping that part of the regexp (*note Defining Regexps::).
-Overlays will then start and end at the text matching the group,
-instead of the text matching the entire regexp.
-
-   Of course, automatically creating overlays isn't much use without
-some way of setting their properties too. Overlay properties can be
-defined along with the regexp, and are applied to any overlays created
-by a match to that regexp. Certain properties have implications for
-auto-overlay behaviour.
-
-`priority'
-     This is a standard Emacs overlay property (*note Overlay
-     Properties: (elisp)Overlay Properties.), but it is also used to
-     determine which regexp takes precedence when two or more regexps
-     in the same auto-overlay definition match overlapping regions of
-     text. It is also used to determine which regexp's properties take
-     precedence for overlays that are defined by separate start and end
-     matches.
-
-`exclusive'
-     Normally, different auto-overlay regexps coexist, and act
-     completely independently of one-another. However, if an
-     auto-overlay has non-nil `exclusive' and `priority' properties,
-     regexp matches within the overlay are ignored if they have lower
-     priority. An example use is ignoring other regexp matches within
-     comments in code.

-2 Auto-Overlay Functions
-************************
-
-To use auto-overlays in an Elisp package, you must load the overlay
-classes that you require by including lines of the form
-     (require 'auto-overlay-CLASS)
-   near the beginning of your package, where CLASS is the class name.
-The standard classes are: `word', `line', `self', `nested' and `flat'
-(*note Overview::), though new classes can easily be added (*note
-Extending the Auto-Overlays Package::).
-
-   Sometimes it is useful for a package to make use of auto-overlays if
-any are defined, without necessarily requiring them. To facilitate
-this, the relevant functions can be loaded separately from the rest of
-the auto-overlays package with the line
-     (require 'auto-overlay-common)
-   This provides all the functions related to searching for overlays and
-retrieving overlay properties. *Note Searching for Overlays::. Note that
-there is no need to include this line if any auto-overlay classes are
-`require'd, though it will do no harm.
-
-   This section describes the functions that are needed in order to make
-use of auto-overlays in an Elisp package. It does _not_ describe
-functions related to extending the auto-overlays package. *Note
-Extending the Auto-Overlays Package::.

-
-2.1 Defining Regexps
-====================
-
-An auto-overlay definition is a list of the form:
-     (CLASS &optional :id ENTRY-ID REGEXP1 REGEXP2 ...)
-   CLASS is one of the regexp classes described in the previous section
-(*note Overview::). The optional `:id' property should be a symbol that
-can be used to uniquely identify the auto-overlay definition.
-
-   Each REGEXP defines one of the regexps that make up the auto-overlay
-definition. It should be a list of the form
-     (RGXP &optional :edge EDGE :id SUBENTRY-ID @rest PROPERTY1 PROPERTY2 ...)
-   The `:edge' property should be one of the symbols `'start' or
-`'end', and determines which edge of the auto-overlay this regexp
-corresponds to. If `:edge' is not specified, it is assumed to be
-`'start'. Auto-overlay classes that do not require separate `start' and
-`end' regexps ignore this property. The `:id' property should be a
-symbol that can be used to uniquely identify the regexp. Any further
-elements in the list are cons cells of the form `(property . value)',
-where PROPERTY is an overlay property name (a symbol) and VALUE its
-value. In its simplest form, RGXP is a single regular expression.
-
-   If only part of the regexp should act as the delimeter (*note
-Overview::), RGXP should instead be a cons cell:
-     (RX . GROUP)
-   where RX is a regexp that contains at least one group (*note Regular
-Expressions: (elisp)Regular Expressions.), and GROUP is an integer
-identifying which group should act as the delimeter.
-
-   If the overlay class requires additional groups to be specified,
-RGXP should instead be a list:
-     (RX GROUP0 GROUP1 ...)
-   where RX is a regexp. The first GROUP0 still specifies the part that
-acts as the delimeter, as before. If the entire regexp should act as
-the delimeter, GROUP0 must still be supplied but should be set to 0
-(meaning the entire regexp). None of the standard classes make use of
-any additional groups, but extensions to the auto-overlays package that
-define new classes may. *Note Extending the Auto-Overlays Package::.
-
-   The following functions are used to load and unload regexp
-definitions: 
-
-`(auto-overlay-load-definition SET-ID DEFINITION &optional POS)'
-     Load a new auto-overlay DEFINITION, which should be a list of the
-     form described above, into the set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID. The optional parameter POS determines where in the set's
-     regexp list the new regexp is inserted. If it is `nil', the regexp
-     is added at the end. If it is `t', the regexp is added at the
-     beginning. If it is an integer, the regexp is added at that
-     position in the list. Whilst the position in the list has no
-     effect on overlay behaviour, it does determine the order in which
-     regexps are checked, so can affect efficiency.
-
-`(auto-overlay-load-regexp SET-ID ENTRY-ID REGEXP &optional POS)'
-     Load a new REGEXP, which should be a list of the form described
-     above, into the auto-overlay definition identified by the symbol
-     ENTRY-ID, in the set identified by the symbol SET-ID. REGEXP
-     should be a list of the form described above.  The optional POS
-     determines the position of the regexp in the list of regexps
-     defining the auto-overlay, which can be significant for overlay
-     behaviour since it determines which regexp takes precedence when
-     two match the same text.
-
-`(auto-overlay-unload-set SET-ID)'
-     Unload the entire regexp set identified by the symbol SET-ID.
-
-`(auto-overlay-unload-definition SET-ID ENTRY-ID)'
-     Unload the auto-overlay definition identified by the symbol
-     ENTRY-ID from the set identified by the symbol SET-ID.
-
-`(auto-overlay-unload-regexp SET-ID ENTRY-ID SUBENTRY-ID)'
-     Unload the auto-overlay regexp identified by the symbol
-     SUBENTRY-ID from the auto-overlay definition identified by the
-     symbol ENTRY-ID in the set identified by the symbol SET-ID.
-
-`(auto-overlay-share-regexp-set SET-ID FROM-BUFFER @optional TO-BUFFER)'
-     Share the set of regexp definitions identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in buffer `from-buffer' with the buffer TO-BUFFER, or the
-     current buffer if TO-BUFFER is null. The regexp set becomes common
-     to both buffers, and any changes made to it in one buffer, such as
-     loading and unloading regexp definitions, are also reflected in
-     the other buffer. However, the regexp set can still be enabled and
-     disabled independently in both buffers. The same regexp set can be
-     shared between any number of buffers. To remove a shared regexp
-     set from one of the buffers, simply unload the entire set from that
-     buffer using `auto-overlay-unload-regexp'. The regexp set will
-     remain defined in all the other buffers it was shared with.

Functions
-
-2.2 Starting and Stopping Auto-Overlays
-=======================================
-
-A set of regexps is not active until it has been "started", and can be
-deactivated by "stopping" it. When a regexp set is activated, the
-entire buffer is scanned for regexp matches, and the corresponding
-overlays created. Similarly, when a set is deactivated, all the overlays
-are deleted. Note that regexp definitions can be loaded and unloaded
-whether the regexp set is active or inactive, and that deactivating a
-regexp set does _not_ delete its regexp definitions.
-
-   Since scanning the whole buffer for regexp matches can take some
-time, especially for large buffers, auto-overlay data can be saved to an
-auxiliary file so that the overlays can be restored more quickly if the
-same regexp set is subsequently re-activated. Of course, if either the
-text in the buffer or the overlay definitions are modified whilst the
-regexp set is disabled, then the saved data will be out of date.
-Auto-overlays automatically checks whether the text or overlay
-definitions have been modified since the data was saved. If so, it
-ignores the saved data and re-scans the buffer.
-
-   The usual time to save and restore overlay data is when a regexp set
-is deactivated or activated. The auxilliary file name is then
-constructed automatically from the buffer name and the set-id. However,
-auto-overlays can also be saved and restored manually.
-
-`(auto-overlay-start SET-ID @optional BUFFER SAVE-FILE NO-REGEXP-CHECK)'
-     Activate the auto-overlay regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in BUFFER, or the current buffer if the latter is `nil'. If
-     there is a file called `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID
-     containing up-to-date overlay data, it will be used to restore the
-     auto-overlays (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file visited by the
-     buffer, or the buffer name itself if there is none). Otherwise,
-     the entire buffer will be scanned for regexp matches.
-
-     The string SAVE-FILE specifies the where to look for the file of
-     saved overlay data. If it is nil, it defaults to the current
-     directory. If it is a string specifying a relative path, then it is
-     relative to the current directory, whereas an absolute path
-     specifies exactly where to look. If it is a string specifying a
-     file name (with or without a full path, relative or absolute),
-     then it overrides the default file name and/or location. Any other
-     value of SAVE-FILE will cause the file of overlay data to be
-     ignored, even if it exists.
-
-     If the overlays are being loaded from a file, but optional argument
-     no-regexp-check is non-nil, the file of saved overlays will be
-     used, but no check will be made to ensure regexp refinitions are
-     the same as when the overlays were saved.
-
-`(auto-overlay-stop SET-ID @optional BUFFER SAVE-FILE LEAVE-OVERLAYS)'
-     Deactivate the auto-overlay regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in BUFFER, or the current buffer if the latter is `nil'.
-     All corresponding overlays will be deleted (unless the
-     LEAVE-OVERLAYS option is non-nil, which should only be used if the
-     buffer is about to be killed), but the regexp definitions are
-     preserved and can be reactivated later.
-
-     If SAVE-FILE is non-nil, overlay data will be saved in an
-     auxilliary file called `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the
-     current directory, to speed up subsequent reactivation of the
-     regexp set in the same buffer (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file
-     visited by the buffer, or the buffer name itself if there is
-     none). If SAVE-FILE is a string, it overrides the default save
-     location, overriding either the directory if it only specifies a
-     path (relative paths are relative to the current directory), or
-     the file name if it only specifies a filename, or both if it
-     specifies a full path.
-
-`(auto-overlay-save-overlays SET-ID @optional BUFFER FILE)'
-     Save auto-overlay data for the regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID in BUFFER, or the current buffer if `nil', to an auxilliary
-     file called FILE. If FILE is nil, the overlay data are saved to a
-     file called `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the current
-     directory (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file visited by the
-     buffer, or the buffer name itself if it's not visiting a file). If
-     `file' is a directory name (either an absolute path or relative to
-     the current directory), the overlay data are saved to the default
-     file name under that directory.
-
-`(auto-overlay-load-overlays SET-ID @optional BUFFER FILE NO-REGEXP-CHECK)'
-     Load auto-overlay data for the regexp set identified by the symbol
-     SET-ID into BUFFER, or the current buffer if `nil', from an
-     auxilliary file called FILE. If FILE is nil, it attempts to load
-     the overlay data from a file called
-     `auto-overlay-'BUFFER-NAME`-'SET-ID in the current directory
-     (BUFFER-NAME is the name of the file visited by the buffer, or the
-     buffer name itself if it's not visiting a file). If `file' is a
-     directory name (either an absolute path or relative to the current
-     directory), it attempts to load the overlay data from the default
-     file name under that directory. If NO-REGEXP-CHECK is no-nil, the
-     saved overlays will be loaded even if different regexp definitions
-     were active when the overlays were saved. Returns `t' if the
-     overlays were successfully loaded, `nil' otherwise.

and Stopping Auto-Overlays,  Up: Auto-Overlay Functions
-
-2.3 Searching for Overlays
-==========================
-
-Auto-overlays are just normal Emacs overlays, so any of the standard
-Emacs functions can be used to search for overlays and retrieve overlay
-properties. The auto-overlays package provides some additional
-functions.
-
-`(auto-overlays-at-point @optional POINT PROP-TEST INACTIVE)'
-     Return a list of overlays overlapping POINT, or the point if POINT
-     is null. The list includes _all_ overlays, not just auto-overlays
-     (but see below). The list can be filtered to only return overlays
-     with properties matching criteria specified by PROP-TEST. This
-     should be a list defining a property test, with one of the
-     following forms (or a list of such lists, if more than one
-     property test is required):
-          (FUNCTION PROPERTY)
-          (FUNCTION PROPERTY VALUE)
-          (FUNCTION (PROPERTY1 PROPERTY2 ...) (VALUE1 VALUE2 ...))
-     where FUNCTION is a function, PROPERTY is an overlay property name
-     (a symbol), and VALUE can be any value or lisp expression. For
-     each overlay, first the values corresponding to the PROPERTY names
-     are retrieved from the overlay and any VALUEs that are lisp
-     expressions are evaluated. Then FUNCTION is called with the
-     property values followed by the other values as its arguments. The
-     test is satisfied if the result is non-nil, otherwise it fails.
-     Tests are evaluated in order, but only up to the first failure.
-     Only overlays that satisfy all property tests are returned.
-
-     All auto-overlays are given a non-nil `auto-overlay' property, so
-     to restrict the list to auto-overlays, PROP-TEST should include
-     the following property test:
-          ('identity 'auto-overlay)
-     For efficiency reasons, the auto-overlays package sometimes leaves
-     overlays hanging around in the buffer even when they should have
-     been deleted. These are marked with a non-nil `inactive' property.
-     By default, `auto-overlays-at-point' ignores these. A non-nil
-     INACTIVE will override this, causing inactive overlays to be
-     included in the returned list (assuming they pass all property
-     tests).
-
-`(auto-overlays-in START END @optional PROP-TEST WITHIN INACTIVE)'
-     Return a list of overlays overlapping the region between START and
-     END. The PROP-TEST and INACTIVE arguments have the same behaviour
-     as in `auto-overlays-at-point', above. If WITHIN is non-nil, only
-     overlays that are entirely within the region from START to END
-     will be returned, not overlays that extend outside that region.
-
-`(auto-overlay-highest-priority-at-point @optional POINT PROP-TEST)'
-     Return the highest priority overlay at POINT (or the point, if
-     POINT is null). The PROP-TEST argument has the same behaviour as
-     in `auto-overlays-at-point', above. An overlay's priority is
-     determined by the value of its `priority' property (*note Overlay
-     Properties: (elisp)Overlay Properties.). If two overlays have the
-     same priority, the innermost one takes precedence (i.e. the one
-     that begins later in the buffer, or if they begin at the same
-     point the one that ends earlier; if two overlays have the same
-     priority and extend over the same region, there is no way to
-     predict which will be returned).
-
-`(auto-overlay-local-binding SYMBOL @optional POINT)'
-     Return the "overlay-local" binding of SYMBOL at POINT (or the
-     point if POINT is null), or the current local binding if there is
-     no overlay binding. An "overlay-local" binding for SYMBOL is the
-     value of the overlay property called SYMBOL. If more than one
-     overlay at POINT has a non-nil SYMBOL property, the value from the
-     highest priority overlay is returned (see
-     `auto-overlay-highest-priority-at-point', above, for an
-     explanation of "highest priority").

-3 Worked Example
-****************
-
-The interaction of all the different regexp definitions, overlay
-properties and auto-overlay classes provided by the auto-overlays
-package can be a little daunting. This section will go through an
-example of how the auto-overlay regexps could be defined to create
-overlays for a subset of LaTeX, which is complex enough to demonstrate
-most of the features.
-
-   LaTeX is a markup language, so a LaTeX document combines markup
-commands with normal text. Commands start with `\', and end at the
-first non-word-constituent character. We want to highlight all LaTeX
-commands in blue. Two commands that will particularly interest us are
-`\begin' and `\end', which begin and end a LaTeX environment. The
-environment name is enclosed in braces: `\begin{ENVIRONMENT-NAME}', and
-we want it to be highlighted in pink. LaTeX provides many environments,
-used to create lists, tables, titles, etc. We will take the example of
-an `equation' environment, used to typeset mathematical equations. Thus
-equations are enclosed by `\begin{equation}' and `\end{equation}', and
-we would like to highlight these equations in yellow. Another example
-we will use is the `$' delimiter. Pairs of `$'s delimit mathematical
-expressions that appear in the middle of a paragraph of normal text
-(whereas `equation' environments appear on their own, slightly
-separated from surrounding text). Again, we want to highlight these
-mathematical expressions, this time in green. The final piece of LaTeX
-markup we will need to consider is the `%' character, which creates a
-comment that lasts till the end of the line (i.e. text after the `%' is
-ignored by the LaTeX processor up to the end of the line).
-
-   LaTeX commands are a good example of when to use `word' regular
-expressions (*note Overview::). The appropriate regexp definition is
-loaded by
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word ("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)"
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-We have called the regexp set `latex'. The `face' property is a
-standard Emacs overlay property that sets font properties within the
-overlay. *Note Overlay Properties: (elisp)Overlay Properties. `"\\\\"'
-is the string defining the regexp that matches a _single_ `\'. (Note
-that the `\' character has a special meaning in regular expressions, so
-to include a literal one it must be escaped: `\\'. However, `\' also
-has a special meaning in lisp strings, so both `\' characters must be
-escaped there too, giving `\\\\'.) `[[:alpha:]]*?' matches a sequence
-of zero or more letter characters. The `?' ensures that it matches the
-_shortest_ sequence of letters consistent with matching the regexp,
-since we want the region to end at the first non-letter character,
-matched by `[^[:alpha:]]'. The `\|' defines an alternative, to allow
-the LaTeX command to be terminated either by a non-letter character or
-by the end of the line (`$'). *Note Regular Expressions: (elisp)Regular
-Expressions, for more details on Emacs regular expressions.
-
-   However, there's a small problem. We only want the blue background to
-cover the characters making up a LaTeX command. But as we've defined
-things so far, it will cover all the text matched by the regexp, which
-includes the leading `\' and the trailing non-letter character. To
-rectify this, we need to group the part of the regexp that matches the
-command (i.e. by surround it with `\(' and `\)'), and put the regexp
-inside a cons cell containing the regexp in its `car' and a number
-indicating which subgroup to use in its `cdr':
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-   The `$' delimiter is an obvious example of when to use a `self'
-regexp (*note Overview::). We can update our example to include this
-(note that `$' also has a special meaning in regular expressions, so it
-must be escaped with `\' which itself must be escaped in lisp strings):
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(self ("\\$" (face . (background-color . "green")))))
-
-This won't quite work though. LaTeX maths commands also start with a
-`\' character, which will match the `word' regexp. For the sake of
-example we want the entire equation highlighted in green, without
-highlighting any LaTeX maths commands it contains in blue. Since the
-`word' overlay will be within the `self' overlay, the blue highlighting
-will take precedence. We can change this by giving the `self' overlay a
-higher priority (any priority is higher than a non-existent one; we use
-3 here for later convenience). For efficiency reasons, it's a good idea
-to put higher priority regexp definitions before lower priority ones,
-so we get:
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(self ("\\$" (priority . 3) (face . (background-color . "green")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-   The `\begin{equation}' and `\end{equation}' commands also enclose
-maths regions, which we would like to highlight in yellow. Since the
-opening and closing delimiters are different in this case, we must use
-`nested' overlays (*note Overview::). Our example now looks like:
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(self ("\\$" (priority . 3) (face . (background-color . "green")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(nested
-        ("\\begin{equation}"
-         :edge start
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))
-        ("\\end{equation}"
-         :edge end
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-Notice how we've used separate `start' and `end' regexps to define the
-auto-overlay. Once again, we have had to escape the `\' characters, and
-increase the priority of the new regexp definition to avoid any LaTeX
-commands within the maths region being highlighted in blue.
-
-   LaTeX comments start with `%' and last till the end of the line: a
-perfect demonstration of a `line' regexp. Here's a first attempt:
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(self ("\\$" (priority . 3) (face . (background-color . "green")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(nested
-        ("\\begin{equation}"
-         :edge start
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))
-        ("\\end{equation}"
-         :edge end
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      `(line ("%" (face . (background-color
-                           . ,(face-attribute 'default :background))))))
-
-We use the standard Emacs `face-attribute' function to retrieve the
-default background colour, which is evaluated before the regexp
-definition is loaded. (This will of course go wrong if the default
-background colour is subsequently changed, but it's sufficient for this
-example). Let's think about this a bit. We probably don't want anything
-within a comment to be highlighted at all, even if it matches one of the
-other regexps. In fact, creating overlays for `\begin' and `\end'
-commands which are within a comment could cause havoc! If they don't
-occur in pairs within the commented region, they will erroneously pair
-up with ones outside the comment. We need comments to take precedence
-over everything else, and we need them to block other regexp matches,
-so we boost the overlay's priority and set the exclusive property:
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      `(line ("%" (priority . 4) (exclusive . t)
-                  (face . (background-color
-                           . ,(face-attribute 'default :background))))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(self ("\\$" (priority . 3) (face . (background-color . "green")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(nested
-        ("\\begin{equation}"
-         :edge start
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))
-        ("\\end{equation}"
-         :edge end
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-   We're well on our way to creating a useful setup, at least for the
-LaTeX commands we're considering in this example. There is one last
-type of overlay to create, but it is the most complicated. We want
-environment names to be highlighted in pink, i.e. the region between
-`\begin{' and `}'. A first attempt at this might result in:
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      `(line ("%" (priority . 4) (exclusive . t)
-                  (face . (background-color
-                           . ,(face-attribute 'default :background))))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(self ("\\$" (priority . 3) (face . (background-color . "green")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(nested
-        ("\\begin{"
-         :edge start
-         (priority . 2)
-         (face . (background-color . "pink")))
-        ("}"
-         :edge end
-         (priority . 2)
-         (face . (background-color . "pink")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(nested
-        ("\\begin{equation}"
-         :edge start

-        ("\\end{equation}"
-         :edge end
-         (priority . 1)
-         (face . (background-color . "yellow")))))
-
-     (auto-overlay-load-definition
-      'latex
-      '(word (("\\\\[[:alpha:]]*?\\([^[:alpha:]]\\|$\\)" . 1)
-              (face . (background-color . "blue")))))
-
-However, we'll hit a problem with this. The `}' character also closes
-the `\end{' command. Since we haven't told auto-overlays about `\end{',
-every `}' that should close an `\end{' command will instead be
-interpreted as the end of a `\start{' command, probably resulting in
-lots of unmatched `}' characters, creating pink splodges everywhere!
-Clearly, since we also want environment names between `\end{' and `}'
-to be pink, we need something more along the lines of:

-We still haven't solved the problem though. The `}' character doesn't

-The new, complicated-looking regexps will only match `{' and `}'
-characters if they are _not_ preceded by a `\' character (*note Regular
-Expressions: (elisp)Regular Expressions.). Note that the character
-alternative `[^\]\|^' can match any character that isn't a `\' _or_ the
-start of a line. This is required because matches to auto-overlay
-regexps are not allowed to span more than one line. If `{' or `}'
-appear at the beginning of a line, there will be no character in front
-(the newline character doesn't count, since it isn't on the same line),
-so the `[^\]' will not match.
-
-   However, when it does match, the `}' regexp will now match an
-additional character before the `}', causing the overlay to end one
-character early. (The `{' regexp will also match one additional
-character before the `{', but since the beginning of the overlay starts
-from the _end_ of the `start' delimiter, this poses less of a problem.)
-We need to group the part of the regexp that should define the
-delimiter, i.e. the `}', by surrounding it with `\(' and `\)', and put
-the regexp in the `car' of a cons cell whose `cdr' specifies the new
-subgroup (i.e. the 2nd subgroup, since the regexp already included a
-group for other reasons; we could alternatively replace the original
-group by a shy-group, since we don't actually need to capture match
-data for that group). Our final version looks like this:

-
-   With these regexp definitions, LaTeX commands will automatically be
-highlighted in blue, equation environments in yellow, inline maths
-commands in green, and environment names in pink. LaTeX markup within
-comments will be ignored. And `{' and `}' characters from other
-commands will be correctly taken into account. All this is done in
-"real-time"; it doesn't wait until Emacs is idle to update the
-overlays. Not bad for a bundle of regexps!

-   Of course, this could all be done more easily using Emacs' built-in
-syntax highlighting features, but the highlighting was only an example
-to show the location of the overlays. The main point is that the
-overlays are automatically created and kept up to date, and can be given
-any properties you like and used for whatever purpose is required by
-your Elisp package.

-4 Extending the Auto-Overlays Package
-*************************************
-
-The auto-overlays package can easily be extended by adding new overlay
-classes(1). The next sections document the functions and interfaces
-provided by the auto-overlays package for this purpose.
-
-   Often, a new class is a minor modification of one of the standard
-classes. For example, it may work exactly like one of the standard
-classes, but in addition call some function whenever an overlay is
-created or destroyed. In this case, it is far better to build the new
-class on top of the existing class, using functions from the
-class-specific Elisp files, rather than starting from scratch. *Note

-
-4.1 Auto-Overlays in Depth
-==========================
-
-In order to write new classes, a deeper understanding is required of how
-the auto-overlays package works. In fact, two kinds of overlays are
-automatically created, updated and destroyed when auto-overlays are
-active: the auto-overlays themselves, and "match" overlays, used to
-mark text that matches an auto-overlay regexp.
-
-   For overlay classes that only require one regexp to fully define an
-overlay (the `word' and `line' classes are the only standard classes
-like this(1)), the auto-overlays are always matched with the
-corresponding match overlay. For classes that require two regexp
-matches to define the start and end of an overlay (all other standard
-classes), each edge of an auto-overlay can be matched with a match
-overlay. The match overlays define where the edge of the auto-overlay
-is located. There will always be at least one matched edge, since an
-auto-overlay is only created when a regexp match is found, but it is
-possible for the second edge to not yet be matched (for many classes,
-the unmatched edge will be located at the beginning or end of the
-buffer).
-
-   If a match overlay delimits the start of an auto-overlay, the match
-overlay is stored in the auto-overlay's `start' property. The match
-overlay is also stored in the `start' property for auto-overlays that
-only require a single match. If a match overlay delimits the end of an
-auto-overlay, the match overlay is stored in the auto-overlay's `end'
-property. Conversely, a "link" to the auto-overlay is always stored in
-the match overlay's `parent' property(2).
-
-   Whenever a buffer is modified, the lines containing the modifications
-are scanned for new regexp matches. If one is found, a new match overlay
-is created covering the matching text, and then passed as an argument to
-the appropriate "parse" function(3) for its class. This deals with
-creating or updating the auto-overlays, as appropriate. If the text
-within a match overlay is modified, the match overlay checks whether
-the text it covers still matches the regexp. If it no longer matches,
-the match overlay is passed as an argument to the appropriate "suicide"
-function for its class, which deals with updating or deleting its
-parent auto-overlay (and possibly more besides).
-
-   To summarise, the core of the auto-overlays package deals with
-searching for regexp matches, and creating or deleting the
-corresponding match overlays. It then hands over the task of creating,
-updating or deleting the auto-overlays themselves to class-specific
-functions, which implement the correct behaviour for that class.
-
-   ---------- Footnotes ----------
-
-   (1) Although the `self' class only requires one regexp definition,
-the auto-overlays themselves require two matches to that same regexp to
-set the start and end of the overlay.
-
-   (2) The "parent" terminology is admittedly very poor, and is a relic
-of a previous incarnation of the auto-overlays package, when it made
-more sense.
-
-   (3) More bad terminology.

-4.2 Integrating New Overlay Classes
-===================================
-
-To add a new overlay class, all that is required is to write new
-"parse" and "suicide" functions, and inform the auto-overlays package
-of their existence. A "match" function can also optionally be defined.
-It is called whenever a match overlay in the class becomes matched with
-the edge of an auto-overlay (*note Functions for Modifying Overlays::).
-The parse, suicide and match functions are conventionally called
-`auto-o-parse-'CLASS`-match', `auto-o-'CLASS`-suicide' and
-`auto-o-match-'CLASS, where CLASS is the name of the class, though the
-convention is not enforced in any way.
-
-parse function
-     A parse function is passed a single argument containing a match
-     overlay. It should return a list containing any new auto-overlays
-     it creates, or `nil' if none were created.
-          O-LIST = (auto-o-parse-CLASS-match O-MATCH)
-     Note that the parse function itself is responsible for calling the
-     `auto-o-update-exclusive' function if a new exclusive overlay is
-     created. *Note Functions for Modifying Overlays::.
-
-suicide function
-     A suicide function is passed a single argument containing a match
-     overlay. Its return value is ignored.
-          (auto-o-CLASS-suicide O-MATCH)
-     The text covered by the match overlay should be considered to no
-     longer match its regexp, although in certain cases matches are
-     ignored for other reasons and this may not really be the case (for
-     example if a new, higher-priority, exclusive overlay overlaps the
-     match, *note Overview::).
-
-match function
-     A match function is passed a single argument containing a match
-     overlay that has just been matched with an edge of an auto-overlay
-     (*note Functions for Modifying Overlays::). Its return value is
-     ignored.
-          (auto-o-match-CLASS O-MATCH)
-     The auto-overlay it is matched with is stored in the match
-     overlay's `parent' property.
-
-   To integrate the new class into the auto-overlays package, the parse
-and suicide functions must be added to the property list of the symbol
-used to refer to the new class, denoted here by CLASS:
-     (put 'CLASS 'auto-overlay-parse-function
-          'auto-o-parse-CLASS-match)
-     (put 'CLASS 'auto-overlay-suicide-function
-          'auto-o-CLASS-suicide)
-   If the optional match function is defined, it should similarly be
-added to the symbol's property list:
-     (put 'CLASS 'auto-overlay-match-function
-          'auto-o-match-CLASS)

-4.3 Functions for Writing New Overlay Classes
-=============================================
-
-Some functions are provided by the auto-overlays package for use in new
-parse and suicide functions. The functions that modify overlays carry
-out tasks that require interaction with the core of the auto-overlays
-package, and provide the only reliable way of carrying out those tasks.
-The other functions are used to query various things about
-auto-overlays and match overlays. Again, they are the only reliable
-interface for this, since the internal implementation may change between
-releases of the auto-overlays package.

Classes
-
-4.3.1 Standard Parse and Suicide Functions
-------------------------------------------
-
-All the standard overlay classes define their own parse and suicide
-functions (none of them require a match function), which can be used to
-create new "derived" classes based on the standard ones. This is the
-easiest and most common way to create a new class. For example, the new
-class may behave exactly like one of the standard classes, but perform
-some additional processing whenever an overlay is created, destroyed, or
-matched. The parse and suicide functions for the new class should
-perform whatever additional processing is required, and call the
-standard class functions to deal with creating and destroying the
-overlay.
-
-   All the standard parse and suicide functions follow the same naming
-convention (*note Integrating New Overlay Classes::), where CLASS is
-the name of the overlay class (one of `word', `line', `self', `nested'
-or `flat', *note Overview::):
-
-`(auto-o-parse-CLASS-match O-MATCH)'
-     Parse a new match overlay O-MATCH whose class is CLASS. This will
-     create or update auto-overlays, as appropriate for the class.
-
-`(auto-o-CLASS-suicide O-MATCH)'
-     Delete or update auto-overlays as appropriate for overlay class
-     CLASS, due to the match overlay O-MATCH no longer matching.
-
-
-File: auto-overlay-manual.info,  Node: Functions for Modifying Overlays,  
Next: Functions for Querying Overlays,  Prev: Standard Parse and Suicide 
Functions,  Up: Functions for Writing New Overlay Classes
-
-4.3.2 Functions for Modifying Overlays
---------------------------------------
-
-These functions modify auto-overlays and match overlays as necessary to
-perform a particular update. They should _always_ be used to carry out
-their corresponding tasks, rather than doing it separately, since these
-tasks require interaction with the core of the auto-overlays package.
-
-`(auto-o-update-exclusive SET-ID BEG END OLD-PRIORITY NEW-PRIORITY)'
-     Update the region between BEG and END in the current buffer as
-     necessary due to the priority of an exclusive overlay overlapping
-     the region changing from OLD-PRIORITY to NEW-PRIORITY. If the
-     exclusive overlay did not previously overlap the region,
-     OLD-PRIORITY should be null. If it no longer overlaps the region,
-     NEW-PRIORITY should be null. (If both are null, nothing will
-     happen!) The return value is meaningless.
-
-`(auto-o-match-overlay OVERLAY START @optional END NO-PROPS NO-PARSE 
PROTECT-MATCH)'
-     Match or unmatch the start and end of the auto-overlay OVERLAY,
-     update all appropriate properties (such as `parent', `start' and
-     `end' properties, and any properties specified in regexp
-     definitions), and update other auto-overlays in the region covered
-     by OVERLAY as necessary (usually because the `exclusive' or
-     `priority' properties of OVERLAY have changed).
-
-     If START or END are match overlays, match the corresponding edge
-     of OVERLAY. The edge is moved to the location defined by the match
-     overlay, and the `parent' property of the match overlay and the
-     `start' and `end' properties of OVERLAY are updated accordingly.
-     The START argument should be a match overlay corresponding either
-     to the unique regexp if only one is needed for that overlay class,
-     or to a start regexp if the overlay class uses separate start and
-     end regexps. The END argument should then be a match overlay
-     corresponding to an end regexp in the same class (*note
-     Overview::). You're responsible for enforcing this; no check is
-     made.
-
-     If START or END are numbers or markers, move the corresponding
-     edge of OVERLAY to that location and set it as unmatched. The
-     `start' or `end' property of OVERLAY and the `parent' property of
-     any corresponding match overlay are set to `nil'. If START or END
-     are non-nil but neither of the above, leave the corresponding edge
-     of OVERLAY where it is, but set it unmatched (as described above).
-     If START or END are null, don't change the corresponding edge.
-     However, for convenience, if END is null but START is a match
-     overlay corresponding to a match for an end-regexp, match the end
-     of OVERLAY rather than the start.
-
-     The remaining arguments disable some of the tasks normally carried
-     out by `auto-o-match-overlay'. If NO-PROPS is non-nil, overlay
-     properties specified in regexp definitions are ignored and not
-     updated. If NO-PARSE is non-nil, auto-overlays in the region
-     covered by OVERLAY are not updated, even if the `exclusive' or
-     `priority' properties of OVERLAY have changed. If PROTECT-MATCH is
-     non-nil, the `parent' properties of the START and END match
-     overlays are left alone.
-
-`(auto-o-delete-overlay OVERLAY @optional NO-PARSE PROTECT-MATCH)'
-     Delete auto-overlay OVERLAY from the buffer, and update overlays
-     and overlay properties as necessary. The optional arguments disable
-     parts of the updating process, as for `auto-o-match-overlay',
-     above.

-
-4.3.3 Functions for Querying Overlays
--------------------------------------
-
-These functions query certain things about auto-overlays or match
-overlays, or retrieve certain values associated with them. A few are
-merely convenience functions, but most depend on the internal
-implementation details of the auto-overlays package, and provide the
-only reliable interface for whatever they return.
-
-`(auto-o-class O-MATCH)'
-     Return the class of match overlay O-MATCH.
-
-`(auto-o-regexp O-MATCH)'
-     Return the regular expression matched by the text covered by match
-     overlay O-MATCH.
-
-`(auto-o-regexp-group O-MATCH)'
-     Return the regexp group defined in the regexp definition
-     corresponding to match overlay O-MATCH (*note Defining Regexps::).
-
-`(auto-o-props O-MATCH)'
-     Return the list of overlay properties defined in the regexp
-     definition corresponding to match overlay O-MATCH (*note Defining
-     Regexps::).
-
-`(auto-o-edge O-MATCH)'
-     Return edge (the symbol `start' or `end') of match overlay O-MATCH.
-
-`(auto-o-parse-function O-MATCH)'
-     Return appropriate parse function for match overlay O-MATCH.
-
-`(auto-o-suicide-function O-MATCH)'
-     Return appropriate suicide function for match overlay O-MATCH.
-
-`(auto-o-match-function O-MATCH)'
-     Return match function for match overlay O-MATCH, if any.
-
-`(auto-o-edge-matched-p OVERLAY EDGE)'
-     Return non-nil if EDGE (the symbol `start' or `end') of
-     auto-overlay `overlay' is matched.
-
-`(auto-o-start-matched-p OVERLAY)'
-     Return non-nil if auto-overlay OVERLAY is start-matched.
-
-`(auto-o-end-matched-p OVERLAY)'
-     Return non-nil if auto-overlay OVERLAY is end-matched.

-
-4.4 Auto-Overlay Hooks
-======================
-
-The auto-overlays package defines two hooks, that are called when
-auto-overlays are enabled and disabled in a buffer. These are intended
-to be used by overlay classes to set up any extra buffer-local variables
-and settings they require, and clean them up afterwards. (There is no
-point leaving auto-overlay variables and settings hanging around in a
-buffer when auto-overlays are not in use.)
-
-`auto-overlay-load-hook'
-     This hook is run when the first auto-overlay regexp set in a
-     buffer is started, using the `auto-overlay-start' function. *Note
-     Starting and Stopping Auto-Overlays::.
-
-`auto-overlay-unload-hook'
-     This hook is run when the last auto-overlay regexp set in a buffer
-     is stopped, using the `auto-overlay-stop' function. *Note Starting
-     and Stopping Auto-Overlays::.
-
-
-File: auto-overlay-manual.info,  Node: Auto-Overlay Modification Pseudo-Hooks, 
 Prev: Auto-Overlay Hooks,  Up: Extending the Auto-Overlays Package
-
-4.5 Auto-Overlay Modification Pseudo-Hooks
-==========================================
-
-The auto-overlays package adds functions to buffer and overlay
-modification hooks in order to update the overlays as the buffer text is
-modified (*note Modification Hooks: (elisp)Modification Hooks.). The
-order in which all these modification hooks are called is undefined in
-Emacs(1). Therefore, the auto-overlays package provides a mechanism to
-schedule functions to run at particular points during the overlay
-update process.
-
-   There are two stages to the overlay update process: first, any match
-overlay suicide functions are called, then modified buffer lines are
-scanned for new regexp matches. Three pseudo-hooks are defined that are
-called before, after and in between these stages. Their values are lists
-containing elements of the form:
-     (FUNCTION ARG1 ARG2 ...)
-   where FUNCTION is the function to be called by the hook, and the
-ARG's are the arguments to be passed to that function. The list
-elements are evaluated in order. The pseudo-hooks are cleared each time
-after they have been called.
-
-`auto-o-pending-pre-suicide'
-     Pseudo-hook called before any suicide functions.
-
-`auto-o-pending-post-suicide'
-     Pseudo-hook called after any suicide functions but before scanning
-     for regexp matches.
-
-`auto-o-pending-post-update'
-     Pseudo-hook called after scanning for regexp matches.
-
-   These pseudo-hooks can be used to ensure that a function that would
-normally be added to a modification hook will be called at a particular
-point in the auto-overlay update process. To achieve this, a helper
-function must be added to the modification hook instead. The helper
-function should add the function itself to the appropriate pseudo-hook
-by adding a list element with the form described above. The `push' and
-`add-to-list' Elisp functions are the most useful ways to add elements
-to the list.

-5 To-Do
-*******
-
-Things that still need to be implemented (in no particular order):
-
-  1. There needs to be an `eager-self' overlay class, similar to the
-     existing `self' class but updated immediately, rather than waiting
-     for buffer modifications. This will be significantly less
-     efficient, but is necessary for applications that require overlays
-     to be up to date all the time, not just when the buffer is being
-     modified.
-
-  2. Currently, it's difficult to deal with `nested' class regexps for
-     which the `end' regexps match some `start' regexps of interest but
-     also others that are irrelevant. E.g. `{' and `}' in LaTeX when
-     you're only interested in `\somecommand{' `start' regexps. Or
-     matching parens in LISP, when you're only interested in function
-     bodies, say. The only solution is to include all `start' regexps,
-     but not set any of their properties. This can end up creating a
-     lot of overlays! A variant of the `nested' class that avoids this
-     problem is needed.

-D.1 GNU Free Documentation License
-==================================
-
-                      Version 1.2, November 2002
-
-     Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA
-
-     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
-     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-  0. PREAMBLE
-
-     The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
-     functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
-     assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
-     with or without modifying it, either commercially or
-     noncommercially.  Secondarily, this License preserves for the
-     author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
-     being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
-
-     This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
-     works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
-     It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
-     license designed for free software.
-
-     We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
-     free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
-     free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
-     that the software does.  But this License is not limited to
-     software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
-     of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
-     We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
-     instruction or reference.
-
-  1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-
-     This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
-     that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
-     can be distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice
-     grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
-     to use that work under the conditions stated herein.  The
-     "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.  Any member
-     of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".  You
-     accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
-     way requiring permission under copyright law.
-
-     A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
-     Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
-     modifications and/or translated into another language.
-
-     A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
-     of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
-     publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
-     subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
-     fall directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document
-     is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
-     explain any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of
-     historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
-     of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
-     regarding them.
-
-     The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
-     titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
-     the notice that says that the Document is released under this
-     License.  If a section does not fit the above definition of
-     Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
-     The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections.  If the Document
-     does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
-
-     The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
-     listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
-     that says that the Document is released under this License.  A
-     Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
-     be at most 25 words.
-
-     A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
-     represented in a format whose specification is available to the
-     general public, that is suitable for revising the document
-     straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
-     composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
-     widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
-     text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
-     formats suitable for input to text formatters.  A copy made in an
-     otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
-     markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
-     modification by readers is not Transparent.  An image format is
-     not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text.  A
-     copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
-
-     Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
-     ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
-     SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
-     standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
-     human modification.  Examples of transparent image formats include
-     PNG, XCF and JPG.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
-     can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
-     XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
-     available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
-     produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
-
-     The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
-     plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
-     material this License requires to appear in the title page.  For
-     works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
-     Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
-     work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
-
-     A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
-     whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
-     following text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ
-     stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
-     "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
-     To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
-     Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
-     to this definition.
-
-     The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
-     which states that this License applies to the Document.  These
-     Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
-     this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
-     implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
-     has no effect on the meaning of this License.
-
-  2. VERBATIM COPYING
-
-     You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
-     commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
-     copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
-     applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
-     add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You
-     may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
-     or further copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However,
-     you may accept compensation in exchange for copies.  If you
-     distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
-     the conditions in section 3.
-
-     You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
-     and you may publicly display copies.
-
-  3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
-
-     If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
-     have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
-     the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
-     enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
-     these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
-     Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly
-     and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.  The
-     front cover must present the full title with all words of the
-     title equally prominent and visible.  You may add other material
-     on the covers in addition.  Copying with changes limited to the
-     covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
-     satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
-     other respects.
-
-     If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
-     legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
-     reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
-     adjacent pages.
-
-     If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
-     numbering more than 100, you must either include a
-     machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
-     state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
-     which the general network-using public has access to download
-     using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
-     copy of the Document, free of added material.  If you use the
-     latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
-     begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
-     this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
-     location until at least one year after the last time you
-     distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
-     retailers) of that edition to the public.
-
-     It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
-     the Document well before redistributing any large number of
-     copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
-     version of the Document.
-
-  4. MODIFICATIONS
-
-     You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
-     under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
-     release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
-     the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
-     licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
-     whoever possesses a copy of it.  In addition, you must do these
-     things in the Modified Version:
-
-       A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
-          distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
-          previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
-          in the History section of the Document).  You may use the
-          same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
-          that version gives permission.
-
-       B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
-          entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
-          the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
-          principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
-          authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
-          from this requirement.
-
-       C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
-          Modified Version, as the publisher.
-
-       D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
-
-       E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
-          adjacent to the other copyright notices.
-
-       F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
-          notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
-          Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
-          the Addendum below.
-
-       G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
-          Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
-          license notice.
-
-       H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
-
-       I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
-          and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
-          authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
-          the Title Page.  If there is no section Entitled "History" in
-          the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
-          and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
-          then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
-          the previous sentence.
-
-       J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
-          for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
-          likewise the network locations given in the Document for
-          previous versions it was based on.  These may be placed in
-          the "History" section.  You may omit a network location for a
-          work that was published at least four years before the
-          Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
-          it refers to gives permission.
-
-       K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
-          Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
-          section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
-          acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
-
-       L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
-          unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
-          or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
-          titles.
-
-       M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".  Such a section
-          may not be included in the Modified Version.
-
-       N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
-          "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
-          Section.
-
-       O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
-
-     If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
-     appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
-     material copied from the Document, you may at your option
-     designate some or all of these sections as invariant.  To do this,
-     add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
-     Version's license notice.  These titles must be distinct from any
-     other section titles.
-
-     You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
-     nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
-     parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
-     has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
-     definition of a standard.
-
-     You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
-     and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
-     of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one
-     passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
-     added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the
-     Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
-     previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
-     you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
-     replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
-     publisher that added the old one.
-
-     The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
-     License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
-     assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
-
-  5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-
-     You may combine the Document with other documents released under
-     this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
-     modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
-     all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
-     unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
-     combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
-     their Warranty Disclaimers.
-
-     The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
-     multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
-     copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
-     but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
-     by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
-     original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
-     unique number.  Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
-     the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
-     combined work.
-
-     In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
-     "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
-     Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
-     "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications".  You
-     must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
-
-  6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-
-     You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
-     documents released under this License, and replace the individual
-     copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
-     that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
-     rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
-     documents in all other respects.
-
-     You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
-     distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
-     a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
-     this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
-     that document.
-
-  7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-
-     A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
-     separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
-     a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
-     copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
-     legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
-     works permit.  When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
-     License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
-     are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
-
-     If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
-     copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
-     of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
-     on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
-     electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
-     form.  Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
-     the whole aggregate.
-
-  8. TRANSLATION
-
-     Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
-     distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
-     4.  Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
-     permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
-     translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
-     original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
-     translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
-     Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
-     include the original English version of this License and the
-     original versions of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a
-     disagreement between the translation and the original version of
-     this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
-     prevail.
-
-     If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
-     "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
-     Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
-     actual title.
-
-  9. TERMINATION
-
-     You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
-     except as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other
-     attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
-     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
-     License.  However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
-     from you under this License will not have their licenses
-     terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
-
-     The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
-     the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
-     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
-     differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
-     `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
-
-     Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
-     number.  If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
-     version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
-     have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
-     that specified version or of any later version that has been
-     published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.  If
-     the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
-     you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
-     Free Software Foundation.
-
-D.1.1 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
-the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
-notices just after the title page:
-
-       Copyright (C)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
-       Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
-       under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
-       or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
-       with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
-       Texts.  A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
-       Free Documentation License''.
-
-   If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
-Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
-
-         with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
-         the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
-         being LIST.
-
-   If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
-combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
-situation.
-
-   If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
-recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
-free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
-permit their use in free software.
