  72   "Interpret the regi frame FRAME.
  73 If optional START and END are supplied, they indicate the region of
  74 interest, and the buffer is narrowed to the beginning of the line
  75 containing START, and beginning of the line after the line containing
  76 END.  Otherwise, point and mark are not set and processing continues
  77 until your FUNC returns the `abort' symbol (see below).  Beware!  Not
  78 supplying a START or END could put you in an infinite loop.
  79
  80 A regi frame is a list of entries of the form:
  81
  82      (PRED FUNC [NEGATE-P [CASE-FOLD-SEARCH]])
  83
  84 PRED is a predicate against which each line in the region is tested,
  85 and if a match occurs, FUNC is `eval'd.  Point is then moved to the
  86 beginning of the next line, the frame is reset and checking continues.
  87 If a match doesn't occur, the next entry is checked against the
  88 current line until all entries in the frame are checked.  At this
  89 point, if no match occurred, the frame is reset and point is moved to
  90 the next line.  Checking continues until every line in the region is
  91 checked.  Optional NEGATE-P inverts the result of PRED before FUNC is
  92 called and `case-fold-search' is bound to the optional value of
  93 CASE-FOLD-SEARCH for the PRED check.
  94
  95 PRED can be a string, variable, function or one of the following
  96 symbols: t, nil, `begin', `end', and `every'.  If PRED is a string, or
  97 a variable or list that evaluates to a string, it is interpreted as a
  98 regular expression and is matched against the current line (from the
  99 beginning) using `looking-at'.  If PRED does not evaluate to a string,
 100 it is interpreted as a binary value (nil or non-nil).
 101
 102 PRED can also be one of the following symbols:
 103
 104 t       -- always produces a true outcome
 105 `begin' -- always executes before anything else
 106 `end'   -- always executes after everything else
 107 `every' -- execute after frame is matched on a line
 108
 109 Note that NEGATE-P and CASE-FOLD-SEARCH are meaningless if PRED is one
 110 of these special symbols.  Only the first occurrence of each symbol in
 111 a frame entry is used, the rest are ignored.
 112
 113 Your FUNC can return values which control regi processing.  If a list
 114 is returned from your function, it can contain any combination of the
 115 following elements:
 116
 117 the symbol `continue'
 118      Tells regi to continue processing frame-entries after a match,
 119      instead of resetting to the first entry and advancing to the next
 120      line, as is the default behavior.  When returning this symbol,
 121      you must take care not to enter an infinite loop.
 122
 123 the symbol `abort'
 124      Tells regi to terminate processing this frame.  any end
 125      frame-entry is still processed.
 126
 127 the list `(frame . NEWFRAME)'
 128      Tells regi to use NEWFRAME as its current frame.  In other words,
 129      your FUNC can modify the executing regi frame on the fly.
 130
 131 the list `(step . STEP)'
 132      Tells regi to move STEP number of lines forward during normal
 133      processing.  By default, regi moves forward 1 line.  STEP can be
 134      negative, but be careful of infinite loops.
 135
 136 You should usually take care to explicitly return nil from your
 137 function if no action is to take place.  Your FUNC will always be
 138 `eval'ed.  The following variables will be temporarily bound to some
 139 useful information:
 140
 141 `curline'
 142      the current line in the buffer, as a string
 143
 144 `curframe'
 145      the full, current frame being executed
 146
 147 `curentry'
 148      the current frame entry being executed."
