  28 ;;; Commentary:
  29
  30 ;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
  31 ;; services by keyword.
  32 ;;
  33 ;; Things to do:
  34 ;;    1. Support multiple keywords per search.  This could be extremely hairy;
  35 ;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
  36 ;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
  37 ;;    2. Search by string in synopsis line?
  38 ;;    3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.
  39
  40 ;;; Code:
  41
  42 (require 'lisp-mnt)
  43 (require 'find-func)                    ;for find-library(-suffixes)
  44 ;; Use `load' rather than `require' so that it doesn't get loaded
  45 ;; during byte-compilation (at which point it might be missing).
