@cindex @code{interactive-only} property
- Sometimes, a named command is only intended to be called
-interactively, never directly from Lisp. In that case, give it a
-non-@code{nil} @code{interactive-only} property. In that case, the
-byte compiler will print a warning message if the command is called
-from Lisp.
