;; From a posting by Rubikitch at the eev mailing list:

;; <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.eev.devel/15>

;; Note that Rubikitch hasn't signed the FSF papers yet -- this file
;; cannot be included in Emacs until he signs the transfer of
;; copyright, but it isn't part of the "kernel" of eev that is ready
;; for inclusion...

;; To do (for Edrx): reorder; make the `global-set-key's less global;
;; understand why this uses view-mode; understand the defadvices,
;; think about creating hooks in `find-elinks', `find-estring' and
;; `find-sh' to make the defadvice unnecessary; see if I can get rid
;; of the other defadvices; add comments and examples with eesteps.

;; --snip--snip--

;; I once created escript-mode.
;; This major-mode highlights sexp in comment and so on.
;; But I *failed* to highlights sexp in comment in emacs-lisp-mode...
