;;; Commentary:

;; * This module exports:
;;
;; file-commentary      -- a procedure that returns a file's "commentary"
;;
;; documentation-files  -- a search-list of files using the Guile
;;                         Documentation Format Version 2.
;;
;; search-documentation-files -- a procedure that takes NAME (a symbol)
;;                               and searches `documentation-files' for
;;                               associated documentation.  optional
;;                               arg FILES is a list of filenames to use
;;                               instead of `documentation-files'.
;;
;; object-documentation -- a procedure that returns its arg's docstring
;;
;; * Guile Documentation Format
;;
;; Here is the complete and authoritative documentation for the Guile
;; Documentation Format Version 2:
;;
;; HEADER
;; ^LPROC1
;; DOCUMENTATION1
;;
;; ^LPROC2
;; DOCUMENTATION2
;;
;; ^L...
;;
;; The HEADER is completely ignored.  The "^L" are formfeeds.  PROC1, PROC2
;; and so on are symbols that name the element documented.  DOCUMENTATION1,
;; DOCUMENTATION2 and so on are the related documentation, w/o any further
;; formatting.  Note that there are two newlines before the next formfeed;
;; these are discarded when the documentation is read in.
;;
;; (Version 1, corresponding to guile-1.4 and prior, is documented as being
;; not documented anywhere except by this embarrassingly circular comment.)
;;
;; * File Commentary
;;
;; A file's commentary is the body of text found between comments
;;     ;;; Commentary:
;; and
;;     ;;; Code:
;; both of which must be at the beginning of the line.  In the result string,
;; semicolons at the beginning of each line are discarded.
;;
;; You can specify to `file-commentary' alternate begin and end strings, and
;; scrub procedure.  Use #t to get default values.  For example:
;;
;; (file-commentary "documentation.scm")
;; You should see this text!
;;
;; (file-commentary "documentation.scm" "^;;; Code:" "ends here$")
;; You should see the rest of this file.
;;
;; (file-commentary "documentation.scm" #t #t string-upcase)
;; You should see this text very loudly (note semicolons untouched).
