30 ;; If these settings are not right, override them with `setq'
31 ;; in site-init.el. Do not change this file.
33 ;;; Code:
35 ;; Docstrings in this file should, where reasonable, follow the
36 ;; conventions described in make-docfile, so that they get put in the
37 ;; DOC file rather than in memory.
