  25 ;;; Commentary:
  26
  27 ;; This file provides routines for getting the "thing" at the location of
  28 ;; point, whatever that "thing" happens to be.  The "thing" is defined by
  29 ;; its beginning and end positions in the buffer.
  30 ;;
  31 ;; The function bounds-of-thing-at-point finds the beginning and end
  32 ;; positions by moving first forward to the end of the "thing", and then
  33 ;; backwards to the beginning.  By default, it uses the corresponding
  34 ;; forward-"thing" operator (eg. forward-word, forward-line).
  35 ;;
  36 ;; Special cases are allowed for using properties associated with the named
  37 ;; "thing":
  38 ;;
  39 ;;   forward-op         Function to call to skip forward over a "thing" (or
  40 ;;                      with a negative argument, backward).
  41 ;;
  42 ;;   beginning-op       Function to call to skip to the beginning of a "thing".
  43 ;;   end-op             Function to call to skip to the end of a "thing".
  44 ;;
  45 ;; Reliance on existing operators means that many `things' can be accessed
  46 ;; without further code:  eg.
  47 ;;     (thing-at-point 'line)
  48 ;;     (thing-at-point 'page)
