;; Author: Didier Remy, November 2001.

;;; Commentary:

;; This provides two functions: completion and help.
;; Look for caml-complete and caml-help.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;
;;  This is a preliminary version.
;;
;;  Possible improvements?
;;   - dump some databaes: Info, Lib, ...
;;   - accept a search path for local libraries instead of current dir
;;     (then distinguish between different modules lying in different
;;     directories)
;;   - improve the construction for info files.
;;
;;  Abstract over
;;   - the viewing method and the database, so that the documentation for
;;     and identifier could be search in
;;       * info / html / man / mli's sources
;;       * viewed in Emacs or using an external previewer.
;;
;;  Take all identifiers (labels, Constructors, exceptions, etc.)
