;;; Commentary:

;; The ideas for this package were derived from the C code in
;; src/keymap.c and elsewhere.  The functions in this file should
;; always be byte-compiled for speed.  Someone should rewrite this in
;; C (as part of src/keymap.c) for speed.

;; The idea for super-apropos is based on the original implementation
;; by Lynn Slater <lrs@esl.com>.

;; History:
;; Fixed bug, current-local-map can return nil.
;; Change, doesn't calculate key-bindings unless needed.
;; Added super-apropos capability, changed print functions.
;; Made fast-apropos and super-apropos share code.
;; Sped up fast-apropos again.
;; Added apropos-do-all option.
;; Added fast-command-apropos.
;; Changed doc strings to comments for helping functions.
;; Made doc file buffer read-only, buried it.
;; Only call substitute-command-keys if do-all set.

;;; Code:

(defvar apropos-do-all nil
  "*Whether `apropos' and `super-apropos' should do everything that they can.
Makes them run 2 or 3 times slower.  Set this non-nil if you have a fast
machine.")

;; If there isn't already a lisp variable named internal-doc-file-name, create
;; it and document it.  This is so the code will work right after RMS adds
;; internal-doc-file-name.
