  27 ;; Functionality for eliding boilerplate text (normally copyright
  28 ;; notices) in file headers to avoid clutter when you know what it
  29 ;; says.
  30 ;;
  31 ;; `elide-head-headers-to-hide' controls what is elided by the command
  32 ;; `elide-head'.  A buffer-local invisible overlay manages the
  33 ;; elision.
  34
  35 ;; Please don't turn this on in site init files so that information
  36 ;; isn't hidden from users who may not know what it says.
  37
  38 ;; Inspired by jwz's hide-copyleft.el, for which we don't have an
  39 ;; assignment.
