;#### This stuff was an attempt to have font locking and hyperlinks in the
;help buffer, but it doesn't really work.  Some of this stuff comes from
;FSF Emacs; but the FSF Emacs implementation is rather broken, as usual.
;What needs to happen is this:
;
; -- we probably need a "hyperlink mode" from which help-mode is derived.
; -- this means we probably need multiple inheritance of modes!
;    Thankfully this is not hard to implement; we already have the
;    ability for a keymap to have multiple parents.  However, we'd
;    have to define any multiply-inherited-from modes using a standard
;    `define-mode' construction instead of manually doing it, because
;    we don't want each guy calling `kill-all-local-variables' and
;    messing up the previous one.
; -- we need to scan the buffer ourselves (not from font-lock, because
;    the user might not have font-lock enabled) and highlight only
;    those words that are *documented* functions and variables (and
;    probably excluding words without dashes in them unless enclosed
;    in quotes, so that common words like "list" and "point" don't
;    become hyperlinks.
; -- we should *not* use font-lock keywords like below.  Instead we
;    should add the font-lock stuff ourselves during the scanning phase,
;    if font-lock is enabled in this buffer.
