(format-alist): Doc fix. (format-annotate-function): New argument ORIG-BUF, passed on to TO-FN. (format-encode-region): Let TO-FN know that our current buffer is its ORIG-BUF.

+TO-FN   is called to encode a region into that format; it is passed three

+        the data being written came from, which the function could use, for
+        example, to find the values of local variables.  TO-FN should either
+        return a list of annotations like `write-region-annotate-functions',
+        or modify the region and return the new end.
+MODIFY, if non-nil, means the TO-FN wants to modify the region.  If nil,
+        TO-FN will not make any changes but will instead return a list of

   "Returns annotations for writing region as FORMAT.
 FORMAT is a symbol naming one of the formats defined in `format-alist',
 it must be a single symbol, not a list like `buffer-file-format'.
+FROM and TO delimit the region to be operated on in the current buffer.
+ORIG-BUF is the original buffer that the data came from.
 This function works like a function on `write-region-annotate-functions':
 it either returns a list of annotations, or returns with a different buffer
 current, which contains the modified text to write.
