Buffer Text Notation
--------------------

   Some examples describe modifications to the contents of a buffer, by
showing the "before" and "after" versions of the text.  These examples
show the contents of the buffer in question between two lines of dashes
containing the buffer name.  In addition, `-!-' indicates the location
of point.  (The symbol for point, of course, is not part of the text in
the buffer; it indicates the place _between_ two characters where point
is currently located.)

     ---------- Buffer: foo ----------
     This is the -!-contents of foo.
     ---------- Buffer: foo ----------
     
     (insert "changed ")
          => nil
     ---------- Buffer: foo ----------
     This is the changed -!-contents of foo.
     ---------- Buffer: foo ----------
