+;;; 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.
