Thanks Tomas, this helped!

- There is an example in no-byte-compile directly shown in the results.

- I discovered ps-begin-cut-regexp and ps-end-cut-regexp related to the
  thing I was doing.

People suggested many ways of finding different things.  I can not
remember them all and know in each context which one to choose.

grep through emacs sources seems to give me fastest way of finding
stuff.  It is not perfect but I don't have to remember anything.

   (grep "grep -r -nH --color -i -e 'local variables:' ~/mr/emacs")

or

   (grep "rg -nH --no-heading -i 'local variables:' ~/mr/emacs")

This topic also led me to discover eev, which I find amazing.

Thanks to all for suggestions!
