+Sweep also extends Emacs's ~file-name-at-point-functions~ hook with the
+function ~sweeprolog-file-at-point~ that returns the resolved Prolog
+file specification at point, if any.  Emacs uses this hook to populate
+the "future history" of minibuffer prompts that read file names, such
+as the one you get when you type ~C-x C-f~ (~find-file~).  In particular
+this means that if point is in a Prolog file specification, you can
+type ~M-n~ after ~C-x C-f~ to populate the minibuffer with the
+corresponding file name.  You can then go ahead and visit the file by
+typing ~RET~, or you can edit the minibuffer contents and visit a nearby
+file instead.
