+     "To allow for the usage of Emacs functions and macros that are defined
+in newer versions of Emacs, @code{compat.el} provides definitions that
+are installed ONLY if necessary.  These reimplementations of functions
+and macros are at least subsets of the actual implementations.  Be
+sure to read the documentation string to make sure.
+
+Not every function provided in newer versions of Emacs is provided
+here.  Some depend on new features from the core, others cannot be
+implemented to a meaningful degree.  The main audience for this
+library are not regular users, but package maintainers.  Therefore
+commands and user options are usually not implemented here.")
