+;; It is possible to replace a match with multiple expressions using
+;; "splicing mode".  When it is active, the replacement expression
+;; must evaluate to a list, and is spliced instead of inserted into
+;; the buffer for any replaced match.  Use s to toggle splicing mode
+;; in a `el-search-query-replace' session.
