 ;;; Commentary:
 
-;; This package implements the `cursor-intangible' property, which is
-;; meant to replace the old `intangible' property.  To use it, just enable the
-;; `cursor-intangible-mode', after which this package will move point away from
-;; any position that has a non-nil `cursor-intangible' property.  This is only
-;; done just before redisplay happens, contrary to the old `intangible'
-;; property which was done at a much lower level.
