+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file contains wrapper functions for a wide range of mail
+;; parsing functions.  The idea is that there are low-level libraries
+;; that implement according to various specs (RFC2231, DRUMS, USEFOR),
+;; but that programmers that want to parse some header (say,
+;; Content-Type) will want to use the latest spec.
+;;
+;; So while each low-level library (rfc2231.el, for instance) decodes
+;; faithfully according to that (proposed) standard, this library is
+;; the interface library.  If some later RFC supersedes RFC2231, one
+;; would just have to write a new low-level library, adjust the
+;; aliases in this library, and the users and programmers won't notice
+;; any changes.
