 13.1 Snarfing
 =============
 
 Because it's easier to maintain documentation, code, and other metainfo
 in one source file than in many files, there have evolved many methods
 for grepping source to lift and separate these kinds of info, in the
 process generating docs or fragments of source or what have you.  This
 is known generally as "snarfing", which comes from the verb "to snarf",
 here meaning "to unceremoniously extract information from a somewhat
 unwilling source."
 
    This section documents the installed program `guile-snarf' which does
 "init snarfing", and also touches upon guile's doc snarfing process
 which is not yet finalized (i.e., doc snarfing programs are not
 installed at this time).
