25
26;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
27;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere. The functions in this file should
28;; always be byte-compiled for speed. Someone should rewrite this in
29;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.
30
31;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
32;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.
33
34;; History:
35;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
36;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
37;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
38;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
39;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
40;; Added apropos-do-all option.
41;; Added fast-command-apropos.
42;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
43;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
44;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.
