;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package defines functions for inserting and manipulating
;; clickable buttons in Emacs buffers, such as might be used for help
;; hyperlinks, etc.
;;
;; In some ways it duplicates functionality also offered by the
;; `widget' package, but the button package has the advantage that it
;; is (1) much faster, (2) much smaller, and (3) much, much, simpler
;; (the code, that is, not the interface).
;;
;; Buttons can either use overlays, in which case the button is
;; represented by the overlay itself, or text-properties, in which case
;; the button is represented by a marker or buffer-position pointing
;; somewhere in the button.  In the latter case, no markers into the
;; buffer are retained, which is important for speed if there are are
;; extremely large numbers of buttons.
;;
;; Using `define-button-type' to define default properties for buttons
;; is not necessary, but it is is encouraged, since doing so makes the
;; resulting code clearer and more efficient.
;;
