29;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
30;; services by keyword.
31;;
32;; Things to do:
33;; 1. Support multiple keywords per search. This could be extremely hairy;
34;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
35;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
36;; 2. Search by string in synopsis line?
37;; 3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.
