+Each substring of the form \\=\\[COMMAND] is replaced by either a
+keystroke sequence that invokes COMMAND, or "M-x COMMAND" if COMMAND
+is not on any keys.
+
+Each substring of the form \\=\\{MAPVAR} is replaced by a summary of
+the value of MAPVAR as a keymap. This summary is similar to the one
+produced by `describe-bindings'. The summary ends in two newlines
+\(used by the helper function `help-make-xrefs' to find the end of the
+summary).
+
+Each substring of the form \\=\\<MAPVAR> specifies the use of MAPVAR
as the keymap for future \\=\\[COMMAND] substrings.
\\=\\= quotes the following character and is discarded;
thus, \\=\\=\\=\\= puts \\=\\= into the output, and \\=\\=\\=\\[ puts \\=\\[ into the output.
-Returns original STRING if no substitutions were made. Otherwise,
-a new string, without any text properties, is returned. */)
