;;; Commentary:
;;
;; It is good practice to write documentation for your functions and
;; variables.  These core routines deal with these documentation
;; comments or strings.  They can exist either as a tag property
;; (:documentation) or as a comment just before the symbol, or after
;; the symbol on the same line.

TAG might have DOCUMENTATION set in it already.  If not, there may be
some documentation in a comment preceding TAG's definition which we
can look for.  When appropriate, this can be overridden by a language specific
enhancement.
Optional argument NOSNARF means return only the lexical analyzer token for it.
If NOSNARF is `lex', then only return the lex token."
