;;; ;;; Note: defconst and defvar should NOT be marked in this way.
;;; ;;; We don't want to produce defconsts and defvars that
;;; ;;; make-docfile can grok, because then it would grok them twice,

;;; Counter-note: Yes, they should be marked in this way.
;;; make-docfile only processes those files that are loaded into the
;;; dumped Emacs, and those files should never have anything
;;; autoloaded here.  The above-feared problem only occurs with files
;;; which have autoloaded entries *and* are processed by make-docfile;
;;; there should be no such files.
