;;; Commentary:

;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere.  The functions in this file should
;; always be byte-compiled for speed.  Someone should rewrite this in
;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.

;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.

;; History:
;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
;; Added apropos-do-all option.
;; Added fast-command-apropos.
;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.

;; Optionally use configurable faces to make the output more legible.
;; Differentiate between command, function and macro.
;; Apropos-command (ex command-apropos) does cmd and optionally user var.
;; Apropos shows all 3 aspects of symbols (fn, var and plist)
;; Apropos-documentation (ex super-apropos) now finds all it should.
;; New apropos-value snoops through all values and optionally plists.
;; Reading DOC file doesn't load nroff.
;; Added hypertext following of documentation, mouse-2 on variable gives value
;;   from buffer in active window.

  "Non nil means apropos commands will search more extensively.
This may be slower.  This option affects the following commands:

`apropos-variable' will search all variables, not just user variables.
`apropos-command' will also search non-interactive functions.
`apropos' will search all symbols, not just functions, variables, faces,
and those with property lists.
`apropos-value' will also search in property lists and functions.
`apropos-documentation' will search all documentation strings, not just
those in the etc/DOC documentation file.

This option only controls the default behavior.  Each of the above
commands also has an optional argument to request a more extensive search.

include key-binding information in its output."
