;;; Commentary:

;; This code helps GNU Emacs maintainers keep the loaddefs.el file up to
;; date.  It interprets magic cookies of the form ";;;###autoload" in
;; lisp source files in various useful ways.  To learn more, read the
;; source; if you're going to use this, you'd better be able to.

;;; Code:

(require 'lisp-mode)			;for `doc-string-elt' properties.
(require 'help-fns)			;for help-add-fundoc-usage.
