+If not found, the return value is nil. If found, point will be
+placed at the end of the region and an object describing the
+match is returned.
+
+PREDICATE is called with two values. The first is the VALUE
+parameter. The second is the value of PROPERTY. This predicate
+should return non-nil if there is a match.
+
+Some convenience values for PREDICATE can also be used. `t'
+means the same as `equal'. `nil' means almost the same as \"not
+equal\", but will also end the match if the value of PROPERTY
+changes. See the manual for extensive examples.
+
+If `not-immediate', if the match is under point, it will not be
+returned, but instead the next instance is returned, if any.
+
+The return value (if a match is made) is a `prop-match'
+structure. The accessors available are
+`prop-match-beginning'/`prop-match-end' (the region in the buffer
+that's matching), and `prop-match-value' (the value of PROPERTY
+at the start of the region)."
