;;; Commentary:
;;
;; It is good practice to write documentation for your functions and
;; variables.  These core routines deal with these documentation
;; comments or strings.  They can exist either as a tag property
;; (:documentation) or as a comment just before the symbol, or after
;; the symbol on the same line.

some documentation in a comment preceding TAG's definition which we

enhancement.
