;;; Commentary:

;; This code has a long history.  It started as a minor
;; mode for C mode.  This era ended with the release of version 2
;; of the GNU C Library in 1997.  The code was therefore rewritten
;; more or less from scratch so that all lookups are performed via
;; indices.  Not finding an existing symbol in an index means that
;; there is an error in the manual.  Long missed features like a
;; separate input history, symbol name completion in the mini-buffer,
;; highlighting of looked up symbol names in the Info buffer, and
;; implicitly prepending `struct', `union' or `enum' to data types
;; were added in this phase too.
