| set-text-properties is a built-in function.
| (set-text-properties START END PROPERTIES &optional OBJECT)
|
| Completely replace properties of text from START to END.
| The third argument PROPERTIES is the new property list.
| The optional fourth argument, OBJECT,
| is the string or buffer containing the text.
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| If OBJECT is omitted or nil, it defaults to the current buffer.
| If PROPERTIES is nil, the effect is to remove all properties from
