28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; The widget library is partially documented in the `widget' Info
31 ;; file.
33 ;; This file only contains the code needed to define new widget types.
34 ;; Everything else is autoloaded from `wid-edit.el'.
36 ;;; Code:
38 ;; Doing this is unnecessary in Emacs 20. Kept as dummy in case
39 ;; external libraries call it. We save a kb or two of purespace by
40 ;; dummying-out such definitions generally.
