;;
;; I sometimes find it tiresome to have fifteen lines of copyright notice at
;; the beginning of each file.  Meta-< does not take you to the beginning of
;; the code, it takes you a windowfull or two away, which can be tedious on
;; slow terminal lines.
;;
;; I know what the copyright notice says; so this code makes all but the first
;; line of it be invisible, by using Emacs's selective-display feature.  The
;; text is still present and unmodified, but it is invisible.
;;
;; Elide the copyright notice with "Meta-X hide-copyleft-region".  Make it
;; visible again with "Control-U Meta-X hide-copyleft-region".  Or, if you're
;; sure you're not gonna get sued, you can do something like this in your
;; .emacs file:
;;
;;       (autoload 'hide-copyleft-region   "hide-copyleft" nil t)
;;       (autoload 'unhide-copyleft-region "hide-copyleft" nil t)
;;       (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'hide-copyleft-region)
;;       (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'hide-copyleft-region)
;;
;; This code (obviously) has quite specific knowledge of the wording of the
;; various copyrights I've run across.  Let me know if you find one on which
;; it fails.

(defvar copylefts-to-hide
  ;; There are some extra backslashes in these strings to prevent this code
  ;; from matching the definition of this list as the copyright notice!
