;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides a number of macros and other coding utilities
;; for MMM Mode.

;;; Code:

  (require 'cl))

;;{{{ Valid Buffer

;; We used to wrap almost everything in this, but I realized that
;; only `mmm-mode-on' really needs it. Kept it as a macro, though,
;; for modularity and in case we need it somewhere else.
(defmacro mmm-valid-buffer (&rest body)
  "Execute BODY if in a valid buffer for MMM Mode to be enabled.  This
means not hidden, not a minibuffer, not in batch mode, and not in of
`mmm-never-modes'."

restrictions, and match data."

  "Format STRING by matches from the current match data.
Strings like ~N are replaced by the Nth subexpression from the last
global match.  Does nothing if STRING is not a string.

ON-STRING, if supplied, means to use the match data from a

\(let \(\(a 1) \(c 2)) \(mmm-save-keywords a b c))  ==>  \(:a 1 :c 2)
Use of this macro can make code more readable when there are a lot of
PARAMS, but less readable when there are only a few. Also best used
only when it is important that nil values disappear."

;;{{{ Looking Back At

(defun mmm-looking-back-at (regexp &optional bound)
  "Return t if text before point matches REGEXP.

back that that many characters before point. Otherwise, it defaults to
\(length REGEXP), which is good enough when REGEXP is a simple
string."

;;{{{ Markers

;; Mostly for remembering interactively made regions
(defun mmm-make-marker (pos beg-p sticky-p)
  "Make, and return, a marker at POS that is or isn't sticky.
BEG-P represents whether the marker delimits the beginning of a
region \(or the end of it). STICKY-P is whether it should be sticky,
