+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; These macros may look very much like the ones in GNUS 4.1.  They
+;; are, in a way, but you should note that the indices they use have
+;; been changed from the internal GNUS format to the NOV format.  The
+;; makes it possible to read headers from XOVER much faster.
+;;
+;; The format of a header is now:
+;; [number subject from date id references chars lines xref]
+;;
+;; (That last entry is defined as "misc" in the NOV format, but Gnus
+;; uses it for xrefs.)
