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