+                   GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                      Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                           Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                      TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                    END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read

+Transient commands
+==================
+
+Taking inspiration from prefix keys and prefix arguments, Transient
+implements a similar abstraction involving a prefix command, infix
+arguments and suffix commands.  We could call this abstraction a
+"transient command", but because it always involves at least two
+commands (a prefix and a suffix) we prefer to call it just a
+"transient".
+
+> Transient keymaps are a feature provided by Emacs.  Transients as
+> implemented by this package involve the use of transient keymaps.
+> 
+> Emacs provides a feature that it calls "prefix commands".  When we
+> talk about "prefix commands" in Transient's documentation, then we
+> mean our own kind of "prefix commands", unless specified otherwise.
+> To avoid ambiguity we sometimes use the terms "transient prefix
+> command" for our kind and "regular prefix command" for Emacs' kind.
+
+When the user calls a transient prefix command, then a transient
+(temporary) keymap is activated, which binds the transient's infix and
+suffix commands, and functions that control the transient state are
+added to `pre-command-hook` and `post-command-hook`.  The available
+suffix and infix commands and their state are shown in the echo area
+until the transient is exited by invoking a suffix command.
+
+Calling an infix command causes its value to be changed.  How that is
+done depends on the type of the infix command.  The simplest case is
+an infix command that represents a command-line argument that does not
+take a value.  Invoking such an infix command causes the switch to be
+toggled on or off.  More complex infix commands may read a value from
+the user, using the minibuffer.
+
+Calling a suffix command usually causes the transient to be exited;
+the transient keymaps and hook functions are removed, the echo area no
+longer shows information about the (no longer bound) suffix commands,
+the values of some public global variables are set, while some
+internal global variables are unset, and finally the command is
+actually called.  Suffix commands can also be configured to not exit
+the transient.
+
+A suffix command can, but does not have to, use the infix arguments in
+much the same way it can choose to use or ignore the prefix arguments.
+For a suffix command that was invoked from a transient the variable
+`current-transient-suffixes` and the function `transient-args` serve about
+the same purpose as the variables `prefix-arg` and `current-prefix-arg` do
+for any command that was called after the prefix arguments have been
+set using a command such as `universal-argument`.

+* Introduction
+
+Taking inspiration from prefix keys and prefix arguments, Transient
+implements a similar abstraction involving a prefix command, infix
+arguments and suffix commands.  We could call this abstraction a
+"transient command", but because it always involves at least two
+commands (a prefix and a suffix) we prefer to call it just a
+"transient".
+
+#+BEGIN_QUOTE
+Transient keymaps are a feature provided by Emacs.  Transients as
+implemented by this package involve the use of transient keymaps.
+
+Emacs provides a feature that it calls "prefix commands".  When we
+talk about "prefix commands" in this manual, then we mean our own kind
+of "prefix commands", unless specified otherwise.  To avoid ambiguity
+we sometimes use the terms "transient prefix command" for our kind and
+"regular prefix command" for Emacs' kind.
+#+END_QUOTE
+
+When the user calls a transient prefix command, then a transient
+(temporary) keymap is activated, which binds the transient's infix and
+suffix commands, and functions that control the transient state are
+added to ~pre-command-hook~ and ~post-command-hook~.  The available suffix
+and infix commands and their state are shown in the echo area until
+the transient state is exited by invoking a suffix command.
+
+Calling an infix command causes its value to be changed.  How that is
+done depends on the type of the infix command.  The simplest case is
+an infix command that represents a command-line argument that does not
+take a value.  Invoking such an infix command causes the switch to be
+toggled on or off.  More complex infix commands may read a value from
+the user, using the minibuffer.
+
+Calling a suffix command usually causes the transient to be exited;
+the transient keymaps and hook functions are removed, the echo area no
+longer shows information about the (no longer bound) suffix commands,
+the values of some public global variables are set, while some
+internal global variables are unset, and finally the command is
+actually called.  Suffix commands can also be configured to not exit
+the transient.
+
+A suffix command can, but does not have to, use the infix arguments in
+much the same way it can choose to use or ignore the prefix arguments.
+For a suffix command that was invoked from a transient the variable
+~current-transient-suffixes~ and the function ~transient-args~ serve about
+the same purpose as the variables ~prefix-arg~ and ~current-prefix-arg~ do
+for any command that was called after the prefix arguments have been
+set using a command such as ~universal-argument~.
+
+The information shown in the echo area while a transient is active
+looks a bit like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+,-----------------------------------------
+|Arguments
+| -f Force (--force)
+| -a Annotate (--annotate)
+|
+|Create
+| t tag
+| r telease
+`-----------------------------------------
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+#+BEGIN_QUOTE
+This is a simplified version of ~magit-tag~.  Info manuals do not
+support images or colored text, so the above "screenshot" lacks some
+information; in practice you would be able to tell whether the
+arguments ~--force~ and ~--annotate~ are enabled or not based on their
+color.
+#+END_QUOTE
+
+Transient can be used to implement simple "command dispatchers".  The
+main benefit then is that the user can see all the available commands
+in the echo area.  That is useful by itself because it frees the user
+from having to remember all the keys that are valid after a certain
+prefix key or command.  Magit's ~magit-dispatch~ command is an example
+of using Transient to merely implement a command dispatcher.
+
+In addition to that, Transient also allows users to interactively pass
+arguments to commands.  These arguments can be much more complex than
+what is reasonable when using prefix arguments.  There is a limit to
+how many aspects of a command can be controlled using prefix
+arguments.  Furthermore what a certain prefix argument means for
+different commands can be completely different, and users have to read
+documentation to learn and then commit to memory what a certain prefix
+argument means to a certain command.
+
+Transient suffix commands on the other hand can accept dozens of
+different arguments without the user having to remember anything.
+When using Transient, then one can call a command with arguments that
+are just as complex as when calling the same function non-interactively
+using code.
+
+Invoking a transient command with arguments is similar to invoking a
+command in a shell with command-line completion and history enabled.
+One benefit of the Transient interface is that it remembers history
+not only on a global level ("this command was invoked using these
+arguments and previously it was invoked using those other arguments"),
+but also remembers the values of individual arguments independently.
+see [[*Using History]].
+
+After a transient prefix command is invoked ~C-h <key>~ can be used to
+show the documentation for the infix or suffix command that ~<key>~ is
+bound to (see [[*Getting Help for Suffix Commands]]) and infixes and
+suffixes can be removed from the transient using ~C-x l <key>~.  Infixes
+and suffixes that are disabled by default can be enabled the same way.
+See [[*Enabling and Disabling Suffixes]].
+
+Transient ships with support for a few different types of specialized
+infix commands.  A command that sets a command line option for example
+has different needs than a command that merely toggles a boolean flag.
+Additionally Transient provides abstractions for defining new types,
+which the author of Transient did not anticipate (or didn't get around
+to implement yet).
+
+* Usage
+** Invoking Transients
+
+A transient prefix command is invoked like any other command by
+pressing the key that is bound to that command.  The main difference
+to other commands is that a transient prefix commands activates a
+transient keymap, which temporarily binds the transients infix and
+suffix commands.  Bindings from other keymaps may, or may not, be
+disabled while the transient state is in effect.
+
+There are two kinds of commands that are available after invoking a
+transient prefix command; infix and suffix commands.  Infix commands
+set some value (which is then shown in the echo area), without leaving
+the transient.  Suffix commands on the other hand usually quit the
+transient and they may use the values set by the infix commands,
+i.e. the infix *arguments*.
+
+Instead of setting arguments to be used by a suffix command, infix
+commands may also set some value by side-effect.
+
+** Aborting and Resuming Transients
+
+To quit the transient without invoking a suffix command press ~C-g~.
+
+Key bindings in transient keymaps may be longer than a single event.
+After pressing a valid prefix key, all commands whose bindings do not
+begin with that prefix key are temporarily unavailable and grayed out.
+To abort the prefix key press ~C-g~ (which in this case only quits the
+prefix key, but not the complete transient).
+
+A transient prefix command can be bound as a suffix of another
+transient.  Invoking such a suffix replaces the current transient
+state with a new transient state, i.e. the available bindings change
+and the information displayed in the echo area is updated accordingly.
+Pressing ~C-g~ while a nested transient is active only quits the
+innermost transient, causing a return to the previous transient.
+
+~C-q~ and ~C-z~ on the other hand always exits all transients.  If you use
+the latter, then you can later resume the stack of transients using
+~M-x transient-resume~.
+
+- Key: C-g, transient-quit-seq
+- Key: C-g, transient-quit-one
+
+  This key quits the currently active incomplete key sequence, if any,
+  or else the current transient.  When quitting the current transient,
+  then it returns to the previous transient, if any.
+
+- Key: C-q, transient-quit-all
+
+  This command quits the currently active incomplete key sequence, if
+  any, and all transients, including the active transient and all
+  suspended transients, if any.
+
+- Key: C-z, transient-suspend
+
+  Like ~transient-quit-all~, this command quits an incomplete key
+  sequence, if any, and all transients.  Additionally it saves the
+  stack of transients so that it can easily be resumed (which is
+  particularly useful if you quickly need to do "something else" and
+  the stack is deeper than a single transient and/or you have already
+  changed the values of some infix arguments).
+
+  Note that only a single stack of transients can be saved at a time.
+  If another stack is already saved, then saving a new stack discards
+  the previous stack.
+
+- Key: M-x transient-resume, transient-resume
+
+  This command resumes the previously suspended stack of transients,
+  if any.
+
+** Common Suffix Commands
+*** _ :ignore:
+
+A few shared suffix commands are available in all transients.  These
+suffix commands are not shown in the echo area by default.
+
+Most of these commands are bound to ~C-x <key>~ and after pressing ~C-x~ a
+section featuring all common commands is temporarily show in the echo
+area.  After invoking one of these commands that section disappears
+again.  Note however that one of these commands is described as "Show
+common permanently"; invoke that if you want the common commands to
+always be shown for all transients.
+
+- Key: C-x t, transient-toggle-common
+
+  This command toggles whether the generic commands that are common to
+  all transients are always displayed or only after typing the
+  incomplete prefix key sequence ~C-x~.  This only affects the current
+  Emacs session.
+
+- User Option: transient-show-common-commands
+
+  This option controls whether shared suffix commands are shown
+  alongside the transient-specific infix and suffix commands.  By
+  default the shared commands are not shown to avoid overwhelming
+  the user with to many options.
+
+  While a transient is active, pressing ~C-x~ always shows the common
+  command.  The value of this option can be changed for the current
+  Emacs session by typing ~C-x t~ while a transient is active.
+
+The other common commands are describe in either the previous node or
+in one of the following nodes.
+
+*** Notes on Common Key Bindings
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+You may have noticed that the bindings for some of the common commands
+do *not* have the prefix ~C-x~ and that furthermore some of these commands
+are grayed out while others are not.  That unfortunately is a bit
+confusing if the section of common commands is not shown permanently,
+making the following explanation necessary.
+
+The purpose of usually hiding that section but showing it after the
+user pressed the respective prefix key is to conserve space and not
+overwhelm users with too much noise, while allowing the user to
+quickly list common bindings on demand.
+
+That however should not keep us from using the best possible key
+bindings.  The bindings that do use a prefix do so to avoid wasting
+too many non-prefix bindings, keeping them available for use in
+individual transients.  The bindings that do not use a prefix and that
+are *not* grayed out are very important bindings that are *always*
+available, even when invoking the "common command key prefix" or *any
+other* transient-specific prefix.  The non-prefix keys that *are* grayed
+out however, are not available when any incomplete prefix key sequence
+is active.  They do not use the "common command key prefix" because it
+is likely that users want to invoke them several times in a row and
+e.g. ~M-p M-p M-p~ is much more convenient than ~C-x M-p C-x M-p C-x M-p~.
+
+You may also have noticed that the "Set" command is bound to ~C-x s~,
+while Magit-Popup used to bind ~C-c C-c~ instead.  I have seen several
+users praise the latter binding (sic), so I did not change it
+willy-nilly.  The reason that I changed it is that using different
+prefix keys for different common commands, would have made the
+temporary display of the common commands even more confusing,
+i.e. after pressing ~C-c~ all the ~C-x ...~ bindings would be grayed out.
+
+Using a single prefix for common commands key means that all other
+potential prefix keys can be used for transient-specific commands
+*without* the section of common commands also popping up.  ~C-c~ in
+particular is a prefix that I want (and already do) use for Magit, and
+also using that for a common command would prevent me from doing so.
+
+** Saving Values
+
+After setting the infix arguments in a transient, the user can save
+those arguments for future invocations.
+
+Most transients will start out with the saved arguments when they are
+invoked.  There are a few exceptions though.  Some transients are
+designed so that the value that they use is stored externally as the
+buffer-local value of some variable.  Invoking such a transient again
+uses the buffer-local value. [fn:1]
+
+If the user does not save the value and just exits using a regular
+suffix command, then the value is merely saved to the transient's
+history.  That value won't be used when the transient is next invoked
+but it is easily accessible (see [[*Using History]]).
+
+- Key: C-x s, transient-set
+
+  This command saves the value of the active transient for this Emacs
+  session.
+
+- Key: C-x C-s, transient-save
+
+  Save the value of the active transient persistently across Emacs
+  sessions.
+
+- User Option: transient-values-file
+
+  This file is used to persist the values of transients between Emacs
+  sessions.
+
+[fn:1] ~magit-diff~ and ~magit-log~ are two prominent examples, and their
+handling of buffer-local values is actually a bit more complicated
+than outlined above and even customizable.  This is something I am
+rethinking, but I don't want to rush any changes.)
+
+** Using History
+
+Every time the user invokes a suffix command the transient's current
+value is saved to its history.  This values can be cycled through the
+same way one can cycle through the history of commands that read
+user-input in the minibuffer.
+
+- Key: M-p, transient-history-prev
+
+  This command switches to the previous value used for the active
+  transient.
+
+- Key: M-n, transient-history-next
+
+  This command switches to the next value used for the active
+  transient.
+
+In addition to the transient-wide history, Transient of course
+supports per-infix history.  When an infix reads user-input using the
+minibuffer, then the user can use the regular minibuffer history
+commands to cycle through previously used values.  Usually the same
+keys as those mentioned above are bound to those commands.
+
+Authors of transients should arrange for different infix commands that
+read the same kind of value to also use the same history key (see
+[[*Suffix Slots]]).
+
+Both kinds of history are saved to a file when Emacs is exited.
+
+- User Option: transient-history-file
+
+  This file is used to persist the history of transients and their
+  infixes between Emacs sessions.
+
+- User Option: transient-history-limit
+
+  This option controls how many history elements are kept at the time
+  the history in saved in ~transient-history-file~.
+
+** Getting Help for Suffix Commands
+
+Transients can have many suffixes and infixes that the user might not
+be familiar with.  To make it trivial to get help for these, Transient
+provides access to the documentation directly from the active
+transient.
+
+- Key: C-h, transient-help
+
+  This command enters help mode.  When help mode is active, then
+  typing ~<key>~ shows information about the suffix command that ~<key>~
+  normally is bound to (instead of invoking it).  Pressing ~C-h~ a
+  second time shows information about the /prefix/ command.
+
+  After typing ~<key>~ the stack of transient states is suspended and
+  information about the suffix command is shown instead.  Typing ~q~ in
+  the help buffer buries that buffer and resumes the transient state.
+
+What sort of documentation is shown depends on how the transient was
+defined.  For infix commands that represent command-line arguments
+this ideally shows the appropriate manpage.  ~transient-help~ then tries
+to jump to the correct location within that.  Info manuals are also
+supported.  The fallback is to show the commands doc-string, for
+non-infix suffixes this is usually appropriate.
+
+** Enabling and Disabling Suffixes
+
+The user base of a package that uses transients can be very diverse.
+This is certainly the case for Magit; some users have been using it and
+Git for a decade, while others are just getting started now.
+
+For that reason a mechanism is that authors can use to classify a
+transient's infixes and suffixes along the essentials...everything
+spectrum.  We use the term "levels" to describe that mechanism.
+
+Each suffix command is placed on a level and each transient has a
+level (called transient-level), which controls which suffix commands
+are available.  Integers between 1 and 7 (inclusive) are valid levels.
+For suffixes, 0 is also valid; it means that the suffix is not
+displayed at any level.
+
+The levels of individual transient and/or their individual suffixes
+can be changed interactively, by invoking the transient and then
+pressing ~C-x l~ to enter the "edit" mode, see below.
+
+The default level for both transients and their suffixes is 4.  The
+~transient-default-level~ option only controls the default for
+transients.  The default suffix level is always 4.  The authors of
+transients should place certain suffixes on a higher level, if they
+expect that it won't be of use to most users, and they should place
+very important suffixes on a lower level, so that they remain
+available even if the user lowers the transient level.
+
+(Magit currently places nearly all suffixes on level 4 and lower
+levels are not used at all yet.  So for the time being you should not
+set a lower default level and using a higher level might not give you
+as many additional suffixes as you hoped.)
+
+- User Option: transient-default-level
+
+  This option controls which suffix levels are made available by
+  default.  It sets the transient-level for transients for which the
+  user has not set that individually.
+
+- User Option: transient-levels-file
+
+  This file is used to persist the levels of transients and their
+  suffix between Emacs sessions.
+
+- Key: C-x l, transient-set-level
+
+  This command enters edit mode.  When edit mode is active, then all
+  infixes and suffixes that are currently usable are displayed along
+  with their levels.  The colors of the levels indicate whether they
+  are enabled or not.  The level of the transient is also displayed
+  along with some usage information.
+
+  In edit mode, pressing the key that would usually invoke a certain
+  suffix does instead prompt the user for the level that that suffix
+  should be placed on.
+
+  Help mode is available in edit mode.
+
+  To change the transient level press ~C-x l~ again.
+
+  To exit edit mode press ~C-g~.
+
+  Note that edit mode does not display any suffixes that are not
+  currently usable.  ~magit-rebase~ for example shows different suffixes
+  depending on whether a rebase is already in progress or not.  The
+  predicates also apply in edit mode.
+
+  Therefore, to control which suffixes are available given a certain
+  state, you have to make sure that that state is currently active.
+
+* Other Options
+
+- User Option: transient-show-popup
+
+  This option controls whether the current transient's infix and
+  suffix commands are shown in the echo area.
+
+  If ~t~ (the default), then the infix and suffix commands are shown as
+  soon as the transient is invoked.  If ~nil~, only a one line summary
+  is shown until the user presses a key that forms an incomplete key
+  sequence.  If a number, behave as for ~nil~ but also show the commands
+  after that many seconds of inactivity.
+
+- User Option: transient-highlight-mismatched-keys
+
+  This option controls whether key bindings of infix commands that do
+  not match the respective command-line argument should be highlighted.
+  For other infix commands this option has no effect.
+
+  When this option is non-nil, then the key binding for infix argument
+  are highlighted when only a long argument (e.g. ~--verbose~) is
+  specified but no shorthand (e.g ~-v~).  In the rare case that a
+  shorthand is specified but the key binding does not match, then it
+  is highlighted differently.
+
+  Highlighting mismatched key bindings is useful when learning the
+  arguments of the underlying command-line tool; you wouldn't want to
+  learn any short-hands that do not actually exist.
+
+  The highlighting is done using one of the faces
+  ~transient-mismatched-key~ and ~transient-nonstandard-key~.
+
+- User Option: transient-substitute-key-function
+
+  This function is used to modify key bindings.  It the value of this
+  option is nil (the default), then no substitution is performed.
+
+  This function is called with one argument, the prefix object, and
+  must return a key binding description, either the existing key
+  description it finds in the ~key~ slot, or key description that
+  replaces the prefix key.  It could be used to make other
+  substitutions, but that is discouraged.
+
+  For example, ~=~ is hard to reach using my custom keyboard layout,
+  so I substitute ~(~ for that, which is easy to reach using a layout
+  optimized for lisp.
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (setq transient-substitute-key-function
+          (lambda (obj)
+            (let ((key (oref obj key)))
+              (if (string-match "\\`\\(=\\)[a-zA-Z]" key)
+                  (replace-match "(" t t key 1)
+                key))))
+  #+END_SRC
+
+- User Option: transient-detect-key-conflicts
+
+  This option controls whether key binding conflicts should be
+  detected at the time the transient is invoked.  If so, then this
+  results in an error, which prevents the transient from being used.
+  Because of that, conflicts are ignored by default.
+
+  Conflicts cannot be determined earlier, i.e. when the transient is
+  being defined and when new suffixes are being added, because at that
+  time there can be false-positives.  It is actually valid for
+  multiple suffixes to share a common key binding, provided the
+  predicates of those suffixes prevent that more than one of them is
+  enabled at a time.
+
+* Modifying Existing Transients
+
+To an extend transients can be customized interactively, see [[*Enabling
+and Disabling Suffixes]].  This section explains how existing transients
+can be further modified non-interactively.
+
+The following functions share a few arguments:
+
+- PREFIX is a transient prefix command, a symbol.
+- SUFFIX is a transient infix or suffix specification in the same form
+  as expected by ~define-transient-command~.  See [[*Suffix Specifications]].
+- LOC is a command, a key vector or a key description (a string as
+  returned by ~key-description~).
+
+These functions operate on the information stored in the
+~transient--layout~ property of the PREFIX symbol.  Suffix entries in
+that tree are not objects but have the form ~(LEVEL CLASS PLIST)~, where
+plist should set at least ~:key~, ~:description~ and ~:command~.
+
+- Function: transient-insert-suffix prefix loc suffix
+
+  This function inserts SUFFIX into PREFIX before LOC.
+
+- Function: transient-append-suffix prefix loc suffix
+
+  This function inserts SUFFIX into PREFIX after LOC.
+
+- Function: transient-replace-suffix prefix loc suffix
+
+  This function replaces the suffix at LOC in PREFIX with SUFFIX.
+
+- Function: transient-remove-suffix prefix loc
+
+  This function removes the suffix at LOC in PREFIX.
+
+- Function: transient-get-suffix prefix loc
+
+  This function returns the suffix at LOC in PREFIX.  The returned
+  value has the form mentioned above.
+
+- Function: transient-suffix-put prefix loc prop value
+
+  This function edits the suffix at LOC in PREFIX, by setting the
+  PROP of its plist to VALUE.
+
+Most of these functions do not signal an error if they cannot perform
+the requested modification.  The functions that insert new suffixes
+show a warning if LOC cannot be found in PREFIX, without signaling an
+error.  The reason for doing it like this is that establishing a key
+binding (and that is what we essentially are trying to do here) should
+not prevent the rest of the configuration to fail also.  Among these
+functions only ~transient-get-suffix~ and ~transient-suffix-put~ may
+signal an error.
+
+* Defining New Commands
+** Defining Transients
+
+A transient consists of a prefix command and at least one suffix
+command, though usually a transient has several infix and suffix
+commands.  The below macro defines the transient prefix command *and* it
+binds the transient's infix and suffix commands.  In other works, it
+defines the complete transient, not just the transient prefix command
+that is used to invoke that transient.
+
+- Macro: define-transient-command name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]... 
group... [body...]
+
+  This macro defines NAME as a transient prefix command and binds the
+  transient's infix and suffix commands.
+
+  ARGLIST are the arguments that the prefix command takes.
+  DOCSTRING is the documentation string and is optional.
+
+  These arguments can optionally be followed by keyword-value pairs.
+  Each key has to be a keyword symbol, either ~:class~ or a keyword
+  argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
+  ~transient-prefix~ class is used if the class is not specified
+  explicitly.
+
+  GROUPs add key bindings for infix and suffix commands and specify
+  how these bindings are presented in the echo area.  At least one
+  GROUP has to be specified.  See [[*Binding Suffix and Infix Commands]].
+
+  The BODY is optional.  If it is omitted, then ARGLIST is ignored and
+  the function definition becomes:
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (lambda ()
+      (interactive)
+      (transient-setup 'NAME))
+  #+END_SRC
+
+  If BODY is specified, then it must begin with an ~interactive~ form
+  that matches ARGLIST, and it must call ~transient-setup~.  It may
+  however call that function only when some condition is satisfied.
+
+  All transients have a (possibly ~nil~) value, which is exported when
+  suffix commands are called, so that they can consume that value.
+  For some transients it might be necessary to have a sort of
+  secondary value, called a "scope".  Such a scope would usually be
+  set in the command's ~interactive~ form and has to be passed to the
+  setup function:
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (transient-setup 'NAME nil nil :scope SCOPE)
+  #+END_SRC
+
+  For example, the scope of the ~magit-branch-configure~ transient is
+  the branch whose variables are being configured.
+
+** Binding Suffix and Infix Commands
+*** _ :ignore:
+
+The macro ~define-transient-command~ is used to define a transient.
+This defines the actual transient prefix command (see [[*Defining
+Transients]]) and adds the transient's infix and suffix bindings, as
+described below.
+
+Users and third-party packages can add additional bindings using
+functions such as ~transient-insert-suffix~ (See [[*Modifying Existing
+Transients]]).  These functions take a "suffix specification" as one of
+their arguments, which has the same form as the specifications used in
+~define-transient-command~.
+
+*** Group Specifications
+
+The suffix and infix commands of a transient are organized in groups.
+The grouping controls how the descriptions of the suffixes are
+outlined visually but also makes it possible to set certain properties
+for a set of suffixes.
+
+Several group classes exist, some of which organize suffixes in
+subgroups.  In most cases the class does not have to be specified
+explicitly, but see [[*Group Classes]].
+
+Groups are specified in the call to ~define-transient-command~, using
+vectors.  Because groups are represented using vectors, we cannot use
+square brackets to indicate an optional element and instead use curly
+brackets to do the latter.
+
+Group specifications then have this form:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+  [{LEVEL} {DESCRIPTION} {KEYWORD VALUE}... ELEMENT...]
+#+END_SRC
+
+The LEVEL is optional and defaults to 4.  See [[*Enabling and Disabling
+Suffixes]].
+
+The DESCRIPTION is optional.  If present it is used as the heading of
+the group.
+
+The KEYWORD-VALUE pairs are optional.  Each keyword has to be a
+keyword symbol, either ~:class~ or a keyword argument supported by the
+constructor of that class.
+
+- One of these keywords, ~:description~, is equivalent to specifying
+  DESCRIPTION at the very beginning of the vector.  The recommendation
+  is to use ~:description~ if some other keyword is also used, for
+  consistency, or DESCRIPTION otherwise, because it looks better.
+
+- Likewise ~:level~ is equivalent to LEVEL.
+
+- Other important keywords include the ~:if...~ keywords.  These
+  keywords control whether the group is available in a certain
+  situation.
+
+  For example, one group of the ~magit-rebase~ transient uses ~:if
+  magit-rebase-in-progress-p~, which contains the suffixes that are
+  useful while rebase is already in progress; and another that uses
+  ~:if-not magit-rebase-in-progress-p~, which contains the suffixes that
+  initiate a rebase.
+
+  These predicates can also be used on individual suffixes and are
+  only documented once, see [[*Predicate Slots]].
+
+- Finally the value of ~:hide~, if non-nil, is a predicate that control
+  whether the group is hidden by default.  The key bindings for
+  suffixes of a hidden group should all use the same prefix key.
+  Pressing that prefix key should temporarily show the group and its
+  suffixes, which assumes that a predicate like this is used:
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (lambda ()
+      (eq (car transient--redisplay-key)
+          ?\C-c)) ; the prefix key shared by all bindings
+  #+END_SRC
+
+The ELEMENTs are either all subgroups (vectors), or all suffixes
+(lists) and strings.  (At least currently no group type exists that
+would allow mixing subgroups with commands at the same level, though
+in principal there is nothing that prevents that.)
+
+If the ELEMENTs are not subgroups, then they can be a mixture of lists
+that specify commands and strings.  Strings are inserted verbatim.
+The empty string can be used to insert gaps between suffixes, which is
+particularly useful if the suffixes are outlined as a table.
+
+The form of suffix specifications is documented in the next node.
+
+*** Suffix Specifications
+
+A transient's suffix and infix commands are bound when the transient
+prefix command is defined using ~define-transient-command~, see
+[[*Defining Transients]].  The commands are organized into groups, see
+[[*Group Specifications]].  Here we describe the form used to bind an
+individual suffix command.
+
+The same form is also used when later binding additional commands
+using functions such as ~transient-insert-suffix~, see [[*Modifying
+Existing Transients]].
+
+Suffix specifications have this form:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+  ([LEVEL] [KEY] [DESCRIPTION] COMMAND|ARGUMENT [KEYWORD VALUE]...)
+#+END_SRC
+
+LEVEL, KEY and DESCRIPTION can also be specified using the KEYWORDs
+~:level~, ~:key~ and ~:description~.  If the object that is associated with
+COMMAND sets these properties, then they do not have to be specified
+here.  You can however specify them here anyway, possibly overriding
+the objects value just for the binding inside this transient.
+
+- LEVEL is the suffix level, an integer between 1 and 7.  See
+  [[*Enabling and Disabling Suffixes]].
+
+- KEY is the key binding, either a vector or key description string.
+
+- DESCRIPTION is the description, either a string or a function that
+  return a string.  The function should to be a lambda expression to
+  avoid ambiguity.  In some cases a symbol that is bound as a function
+  would also work but to be safe you should use ~:description~ in that
+  case.
+
+The next element is either a command or an argument.  This is the only
+argument that is mandatory in all cases.
+
+- COMMAND is a symbol that is bound as a function, which has to be a
+  command.  Any command will do; it does not need to have an object
+  associated with it (as would be the case if ~define-suffix-command~
+  or ~define-infix-command~ were used to define it).
+
+  As mentioned above the object that is associated with a command can
+  be used to set the default for certain values that otherwise have to
+  be set in the suffix specification.  Therefore if there is no object,
+  then you have to make sure to specify the KEY and the DESCRIPTION.
+
+- The mandatory argument can also be an command-line argument, a
+  string.  In that case an anonymous command is defined and bound.
+
+  Instead of a string, this can also be a list of two strings, in
+  which case the first string is used as the short argument (which can
+  also be specified using ~:shortarg~) and the second the long argument
+  (which can also be specified using ~:argument~).
+
+  Only the long argument is displayed in the echo area.  See
+  ~transient-detect-key-conflicts~ for how the short argument may be
+  used.
+
+  Unless the class is specified explicitly, the appropriate class is
+  guessed based on the long argument.  If the argument ends with "="
+  (e.g. "--format=") then ~transient-option~ is used, otherwise
+  ~transient-switch~.
+
+Finally details can be specified using optional KEYWORD-VALUE pairs.
+Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either ~:class~ or a keyword
+argument supported by the constructor of that class.  See [[*Suffix
+Slots]].
+
+** Defining Suffix and Infix Commands
+
+- Macro: define-suffix-command name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]... 
body...
+
+  This macro defines NAME as a transient suffix command.
+
+  ARGLIST are the arguments that the command takes.
+  DOCSTRING is the documentation string and is optional.
+
+  These arguments can optionally be followed by keyword-value pairs.
+  Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either ~:class~ or a keyword
+  argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
+  ~transient-suffix~ class is used if the class is not specified
+  explicitly.
+
+  The BODY must begin with an ~interactive~ form that matches ARGLIST.
+  Use the function ~transient-args~ or the low-level variable
+  ~current-transient-suffixes~ if the former does not give you all the
+  required details.  This should, but does not necessarily have to be,
+  done inside the ~interactive~ form; just like for ~prefix-arg~ and
+  ~current-prefix-arg~.
+
+- Macro: define-infix-command name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]...
+
+  This macro defines NAME as a transient infix command.
+
+  ARGLIST is always ignored (but mandatory never-the-less) and
+  reserved for future use.  DOCSTRING is the documentation string and
+  is optional.
+
+  The keyword-value pairs are mandatory.  All transient infix commands
+  are ~equal~ to each other (but not ~eq~), so it is meaningless to define
+  an infix command without also setting at least ~:class~ and one other
+  keyword (which it is depends on the used class, usually ~:argument~ or
+  ~:variable~).
+
+  Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either ~:class~ or a keyword
+  argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
+  ~transient-switch~ class is used if the class is not specified
+  explicitly.
+
+  The function definitions is always:
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (lambda (obj value)
+      (interactive
+       (let ((obj (transient-suffix-object)))
+         (list obj (transient-infix-read obj))))
+      (transient-infix-set obj value)
+      (transient--show))
+  #+END_SRC
+
+  ~transient-infix-read~ and ~transient-infix-set~ are generic functions.
+  Different infix commands behave differently because the concrete
+  methods are different for different infix command classes.  In rare
+  cases the above command function might not be suitable, even if you
+  define your own infix command class.  In that case you have to use
+  ~transient-suffix-command~ to define the infix command and use ~t~ as
+  the value of the ~:transient~ keyword.
+
+- Macro: define-infix-argument name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]...
+
+  This macro defines NAME as a transient infix command.
+
+  It is an alias for ~define-infix-command~.  Only use this alias
+  to define an infix command that actually sets an infix argument.
+  To define a infix command that, for example, sets a variable use
+  ~define-infix-command~ instead.
+
+** Using Infix Arguments
+
+The function and the variables described below allow suffix commands
+to access the value of the transient from which they were invoked;
+which is the value of its infix arguments.  These variables are set
+when the user invokes a suffix command that exits the transient, but
+before actually calling the command.
+
+When returning to the command-loop after calling the suffix command,
+the arguments are reset to ~nil~ (which causes the function to return
+~nil~ too).
+
+Like for Emacs' prefix arguments it is advisable, but not mandatory,
+to access the infix arguments inside the command's ~interactive~ form.
+The preferred way of doing that is to call the ~transient-args~
+function, which for infix arguments serves about the same purpose as
+~prefix-arg~ serves for prefix arguments.
+
+- Function: transient-args &optional prefix separate
+
+  This function returns the value of the transient from which the
+  current suffix was called.  If the current suffix command was not
+  called from a transient, then it returns ~nil~.
+
+  If optional PREFIX is non-~nil~, then it should be a symbol, a
+  transient prefix command.  In that case the value of the transient
+  is only returned if the suffix was invoked from *that* transient.
+  Otherwise ~nil~ is returned.  This function is also used internally,
+  in which PREFIX can also be a ~transient-prefix~ object.
+
+  If optional SEPARATE is non-~nil~, then the arguments are separated
+  into two groups.  If SEPARATE is ~t~, they are separated into atoms
+  and conses (~nil~ isn't a valid value, so it doesn't matter that that
+  is both an atom and a cons).
+
+  SEPARATE can also be a predicate function, in which case the first
+  element is a list of the values for which it returns non-~nil~ and the
+  second element is a list of the values for which it returns ~nil~.
+
+  For transients that are used to pass arguments to a subprocess (such
+  as ~git~), ~stringp~ is a useful value for SEPARATE, it separates
+  non-positional arguments from positional arguments.  The value of
+  Magit's file argument (~"--"~) for example looks like this: ~("--"
+  file...)~."
+
+- Variable: current-transient-suffixes
+
+  The suffixes of the transient from which this suffix command was
+  invoked.  This is a list of objects.  Usually it is sufficient to
+  instead use the function ~transient-args~, which returns a list of
+  values.  In complex cases it might be necessary to use this variable
+  instead, i.e. if you need access to information beside the value.
+
+- Variable: current-transient-prefix
+
+  The transient from which this suffix command was invoked.  The
+  returned value is a ~transient-prefix~ object, which holds information
+  associated with the transient prefix command.
+
+- Variable: current-transient-command
+
+  The transient from which this suffix command was invoked.  The
+  returned value is a symbol, the transient prefix command.
+
+** Transient State
+*** _ :ignore:
+Invoking a transient prefix command "activates" the respective
+transient, i.e. it puts a transient keymap into effect, which binds
+the transient's infix and suffix commands.
+
+The default behavior while a transient is active is as follows:
+
+- Invoking an infix command does not affect the transient state; the
+  transient remains active.
+
+- Invoking a (non-infix) suffix command "deactivates" the transient
+  state by removing the transient keymap and performing some
+  additional cleanup.
+
+- Invoking a command that is bound in a keymap other than the
+  transient keymap is disallowed and trying to do so results in a
+  warning.  This does not "deactivate" the transient.
+
+But these are just the defaults.  Whether a certain command
+deactivates or "exits" the transient is configurable.  There is more
+than one way in which a command can be "transient" or "non-transient";
+the exact behavior is implemented by calling a so-called "pre-command"
+function.  Whether non-suffix commands are allowed to be called is
+configurable per transient.
+
+- The transient-ness of suffix commands (including infix commands) is
+  controlled by the value of their ~transient~ slot, which can be set
+  either when defining the command or when adding a binding to a
+  transient while defining the respective transient prefix command.
+
+  Valid values are booleans and the pre-commands described below.
+
+  - ~t~ is equivalent to ~transient--do-stay~.
+  - ~nil~ is equivalent to ~transient--do-exit~.
+  - If ~transient~ is unbound (and that is actually the default for
+    non-infix suffixes) then the value of the prefix's
+    ~transient-suffix~ slot is used instead.  The default value of that
+    slot is ~nil~, so the suffix's ~transient~ slot being unbound is
+    essentially equivalent to it being ~nil~.
+
+- A suffix command can be a prefix command itself, i.e. a
+  "sub-prefix".  While a sub-prefix is active we nearly always want
+  ~C-g~ to take the user back to the "super-prefix".  However in rare
+  cases this may not be desirable, and that makes the following
+  complication necessary:
+
+  For ~transient-suffix~ objects the ~transient~ slot is unbound.  We can
+  ignore that for the most part because, as stated above, ~nil~ and the
+  slot being unbound are equivalent, and means "do exit".  That isn't
+  actually true for suffixes that are sub-prefixes though.  For such
+  suffixes unbound means "do exit but allow going back", which is the
+  default, while ~nil~ means "do exit permanently", which requires that
+  slot to be explicitly set to that value.
+
+- The transient-ness of certain built-in suffix commands is specified
+  using ~transient-predicate-map~.  This is a special keymap, which
+  binds commands to pre-commands (as opposed to keys to commands) and
+  takes precedence over the ~transient~ slot.
+
+The available pre-command functions are documented below.  They are
+called by ~transient--pre-command~, a function on ~pre-command-hook~ and
+the value that they return determines whether the transient is exited.
+To do so the value of one of the constants ~transient--exit~ or
+~transient--stay~ is used (that way we don't have to remember if ~t~ means
+"exit" or "stay").
+
+Additionally these functions may change the value of ~this-command~
+(which explains why they have to be called using ~pre-command-hook~),
+call ~transient-export~, ~transient--stack-zap~ or ~transient--stack-push~;
+and set the values of ~transient--exitp~, ~transient--helpp~ or
+~transient--editp~.
+
+*** Pre-commands for Infixes
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+The default for infixes is ~transient--do-stay~.  This is also the only
+function that makes sense for infixes.
+
+- Function: transient--do-stay
+
+  Call the command without exporting variables and stay transient.
+
+*** Pre-commands for Suffixes
+:PROPERTIES:

+
+- Function: transient--do-exit

+
+- Function: transient--do-call
+
+  Call the command after exporting variables and stay transient.
+
+- Function: transient--do-replace
+
+  Call the transient prefix command, replacing the active transient.
+
+  This is used for suffix that are prefixes themselves, i.e. for
+  sub-prefixes.
+
+*** Pre-commands for Non-Suffixes
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+The default for non-suffixes, i.e commands that are bound in other
+keymaps beside the transient keymap, is ~transient--do-warn~.  Silently
+ignoring the user-error is also an option, though probably not a good
+one.
+
+If you want to let the user invoke non-suffix commands, then use
+~transient--do-stay~ as the value of the prefix's ~transient-non-suffix~
+slot.
+
+- Function: transient--do-warn
+
+  Call ~transient-undefined~ and stay transient.
+

+
+* Classes and Methods
+** _ :ignore:
+
+Transient uses classes and generic functions to make it possible to
+define new types of suffix commands that are similar to existing
+types, but behave differently in some aspects.  It does the same for
+groups and prefix commands, though at least for prefix commands that
+*currently* appears to be less important.
+
+Every prefix, infix and suffix command is associated with an object,
+which holds information that controls certain aspects of its behavior.
+This happens in two ways.
+
+- Associating a command with a certain class gives the command a type.
+  This makes it possible to use generic functions to do certain things
+  that have to be done differently depending on what type of command
+  it acts on.
+
+  That in turn makes it possible for third-parties to add new types
+  without having to convince the maintainer of Transient that that new
+  type is important enough to justify adding a special case to a dozen
+  or so functions.
+
+- Associating a command with an object makes it possible to easily
+  store information that is specific to that particular command.
+
+  Two commands may have the same type, but obviously their key
+  bindings and descriptions still have to be different, for example.
+
+  The values of some slots are functions.  The ~reader~ slot for example
+  holds a function that is used to read a new value for an infix
+  command.  The values of such slots are regular functions.
+
+  Generic functions are used when a function should do something
+  different based on the type of the command, i.e. when all commands
+  of a certain type should behave the same way but different from the
+  behavior for other types.  Object slots that hold a regular function
+  as value are used when the task that they perform is likely to
+  differ even between different commands of the same type.
+
+** Group Classes
+
+The type of a group can be specified using the ~:class~ property at the
+beginning of the class specification, e.g. ~[:class transient-columns
+...]~ in a call to ~define-transient-command~.
+
+- The abstract ~transient-child~ class is the base class of both
+  ~transient-group~ (and therefore all groups) as well as of
+  ~transient-suffix~ (and therefore all suffix and infix commands).
+
+  This class exists because the elements (aka "children") of certain
+  groups can be other groups instead of suffix and infix commands.
+
+- The abstract ~transient-group~ class is the superclass of all other
+  group classes.
+
+- The ~transient-column~ class is the simplest group.
+
+  This is the default "flat" group.  If the class is not specified
+  explicitly and the first element is not a vector (i.e. not a group),
+  then this class is used.
+
+  This class displays each element on a separate line.
+
+- The ~transient-row~ class displays all elements on a single line.
+
+- The ~transient-columns~ class displays commands organized in columns.
+
+  Direct elements have to be groups whose elements have to be commands
+  or strings.  Each subgroup represents a column.  This class takes
+  care of inserting the subgroups' elements.
+
+  This is the default "nested" group.  If the class is not specified
+  explicitly and the first element is a vector (i.e. a group), then
+  this class is used.
+
+- The ~transient-subgroups~ class wraps other groups.
+
+  Direct elements have to be groups whose elements have to be commands
+  or strings.  This group inserts an empty line between subgroups.
+  The subgroups themselves are responsible for displaying their
+  elements.
+
+** Group Methods
+
+- Function: transient--insert-group group
+
+  This generic function formats the group and its elements and inserts
+  the result into the current buffer, which is a temporary buffer.
+  The contents of that buffer are later inserted into the echo area.
+
+  Functions that are called by this function may need to operate in
+  the buffer from which the transient was called.  To do so they can
+  temporally make the ~transient--source-buffer~ the current buffer.
+
+** Prefix Classes
+
+Currently the ~transient-prefix~ class is being used for all prefix
+command and there is only a single generic functions that can be
+specialized based on the class of a prefix command.
+
+- Function: transient--history-init obj
+
+  This generic function is called while setting up the transient and
+  is responsible for initializing the ~history~ slot.  This is the
+  transient-wide history; many individual infixes also have a history
+  of their own.
+
+  The default (and currently only) method extracts the value from the
+  global variable ~transient-history~.
+
+A transient prefix command's object is stored in the ~transient--prefix~
+property of the command symbol.  While a transient is active, a clone
+of that object is stored in the variable ~transient--prefix~.  A clone
+is used because some changes that are made to the active transient's
+object should not affect later invocations.
+
+** Suffix Classes
+
+- All suffix and infix classes derive from ~transient-suffix~, which in
+  turn derives from ~transient-child~, from which ~transient-group~ also
+  derives (see [[*Group Classes]]).
+
+- All infix classes derived from the abstract ~transient-infix~ class,
+  which in turn derives from the ~transient-suffix~ class.
+
+  Infixes are a special type of suffixes.  The primary difference is
+  that infixes always use the ~transient--do-stay~ pre-command, while
+  non-infix suffixes use a variety of pre-commands (see [[*Transient
+  State]]).  Doing that is most easily achieved by using this class,
+  though theoretically it would be possible to define an infix class
+  that does not do so.  If you do that then you get to implement many
+  methods.
+
+  Also infixes and non-infix suffixes are usually defined using
+  different macros (see [[*Defining Suffix and Infix Commands]]).
+
+- Classes used for infix commands that represent arguments should
+  derived from the abstract ~transient-argument~ class.
+
+- The ~transient-switch~ class (or a derived class) is used for infix
+  arguments that represent command-line switches (arguments that do
+  not take a value).
+
+- The ~transient-option~ class (or a derived class) is used for infix
+  arguments that represent command-line options (arguments that do
+  not take a value).
+
+- The ~transient-switches~ class can be used for a set of mutually
+  exclusive command-line switches.
+
+- The ~transient-files~ class can be used for a "--" argument that
+  indicates that all remaining arguments are files.
+
+- Classes used for infix commands that represent variables should
+  derived from the abstract ~transient-variables~ class.
+
+Magit defines additional classes, which can serve as examples for the
+fancy things you can do without modifying Transient.  Some of these
+classes will likely get generalized and added to Transient, for now
+they are very much subject to change and not documented.
+
+** Suffix Methods
+*** _ :ignore:
+
+To get information about the methods implementing these generic
+functions use ~describe-function~.
+
+*** Suffix Value Methods
+
+- Function: transient-init-value obj
+
+  This generic function sets the initial value of the object OBJ.
+
+  This function is called for all suffix commands, but unless a
+  concrete method is implemented this falls through to the default
+  implementation, which is a noop.  In other words this usually
+  only does something for infix commands, but note that this is
+  not implemented for the abstract class ~transient-infix~, so if
+  your class derives from that directly, then you must implement
+  a method.
+
+- Function: transient-infix-read obj
+
+  This generic function determines the new value of the infix object
+  OBJ.
+
+  This function merely determines the value; ~transient-infix-set~ is
+  used to actually store the new value in the object.
+
+  For most infix classes this is done by reading a value from the
+  user using the reader specified by the ~reader~ slot (using the
+  ~transient-infix-value~ method described below).
+
+  For some infix classes the value is changed without reading
+  anything in the minibuffer, i.e. the mere act of invoking the
+  infix command determines what the new value should be, based
+  on the previous value.
+
+- Function: transient-prompt obj
+
+  This generic function returns the prompt to be used to read infix
+  object OBJ's value.
+
+- Function: transient-infix-set obj value
+
+  This generic function sets the value of infix object OBJ to value.
+
+- Function: transient-infix-value obj
+
+  This generic function returns the value of the suffix object OBJ.
+
+  This function is called by ~transient-args~ (which see), meaning this
+  function is how the value of a transient is determined so that the
+  invoked suffix command can use it.
+
+  Currently most values are strings, but that is not set in stone.
+  ~nil~ is not a value, it means "no value".
+
+  Usually only infixes have a value, but see the method for
+  ~transient-suffix~.
+
+- Function: transient-init-scope obj
+
+  This generic function sets the scope of the suffix object OBJ.
+
+  The scope is actually a property of the transient prefix, not of
+  individual suffixes.  However it is possible to invoke a suffix
+  command directly instead of from a transient.  In that case, if
+  the suffix expects a scope, then it has to determine that itself
+  and store it in its ~scope~ slot.
+
+  This function is called for all suffix commands, but unless a
+  concrete method is implemented this falls through to the default
+  implementation, which is a noop.
+
+*** Suffix Format Methods
+
+- Function: transient-format obj
+
+  This generic function formats and returns OBJ for display.
+
+  When this function is called, then the current buffer is some
+  temporary buffer.  If you need the buffer from which the prefix
+  command was invoked to be current, then do so by temporarily
+  making ~transient--source-buffer~ current.
+
+- Function: transient-format-key obj
+
+  This generic function formats OBJ's ~key~ for display and returns the
+  result.
+
+- Function: transient-format-description obj
+
+  This generic function formats OBJ's ~description~ for display and
+  returns the result.
+
+- Function: transient-format-value obj
+
+  This generic function formats OBJ's value for display and returns
+  the result.
+
+- Function: transient-show-help obj
+
+  Show help for the prefix, infix or suffix command represented by
+  OBJ.
+
+  For prefixes show the info manual, if that is specified using the
+  ~info-manual~ slot.  Otherwise show the manpage if that is specified
+  using the ~man-page~ slot.  Otherwise show the command's doc-string.
+
+  For suffixes show the command's doc-string.
+
+  For infixes show the manpage if that is specified.  Otherwise show
+  the command's doc-string.
+
+** TODO Prefix Slots
+
+** Suffix Slots
+
+Here we document most of the slots that are only available for suffix
+objects.  Some slots are shared by suffix and group objects, they are
+documented in [[*Predicate Slots]].
+
+Also see [[*Suffix Classes]].
+
+*** Slots of ~transient-suffix~
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+- ~key~ The key, a key vector or a key description string.
+
+- ~command~ The command, a symbol.
+
+- ~transient~ Whether to stay transient.  See [[*Transient State]].
+
+- ~format~ The format used to display the suffix in the echo area.  Must
+  contain the following %-placeholders:
+
+  - ~%k~ For the key.
+  - ~%d~ For the description.
+  - ~%v~ For the value.  Non-infix suffixes don't have a value.
+
+- ~description~ The description, either a string or a function that is
+  called with no argument and returns a string.
+
+*** Slots of ~transient-infix~
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+Some of these slots are only meaningful for some of the subclasses.
+They are defined here anyway to allow sharing certain methods.
+
+- ~argument~ The long argument, e.g. ~--verbose~.
+
+- ~shortarg~ The short argument, e.g. ~-v~.
+
+- ~multi-value~ For options, whether the option can have multiple
+  values.  If non-nil, then default to use ~completing-read-multiple~.
+
+- ~allow-empty~ For options, whether the empty string is a valid value.
+
+- ~history-key~ The key used to store the history.  This defaults to the
+  command name.  This is useful when multiple infixes should share the
+  same history because their values are of the same kind.
+
+- ~reader~ The function used to read the value of an infix.  Not used
+  for switches.  The function takes three arguments, PROMPT,
+  INITIAL-INPUT and HISTORY, and must return a string.
+
+- ~prompt~ The prompt used when reading the value, either a string or a
+  function that takes the object as the only argument and which
+  returns a prompt string.
+
+- ~choices~ A list of valid values.  How exactly that is used depends on
+  the class of the object.
+
+*** Slots of ~transient-variable~
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+- ~variable~ The variable.
+
+*** Slots of ~transient-switches~
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+- ~argument-format~ The display format.  Must contain ~%s~, one of the
+  ~choices~ is substituted for that.  E.g. ~--%s-order~.
+
+- ~argument-regexp~ The regexp used to match any one of the switches.
+  E.g. ~\\(--\\(topo\\|author-date\\|date\\)-order\\)~.
+
+** Predicate Slots
+
+Suffix and group objects share some predicate slots that control
+whether a group or suffix should be available depending on some state.
+Only one of these slots can be used at the same time.  It is undefined
+what happens if you use more than one.
+
+- ~if~ Enable if predicate returns non-nil.
+- ~if-not~ Enable if predicate returns nil.
+- ~if-non-nil~ Enable if variable's value is non-nil.
+- ~if-nil~ Enable if variable's value is nil.
+- ~if-mode~ Enable if major-mode matches value.
+- ~if-not-mode~ Enable if major-mode does not match value.
+- ~if-derived~ Enable if major-mode derives from value.
+- ~if-not-derived~ Enable if major-mode does not derive from value.
+
+One more slot is shared between group and suffix classes, ~level~.  Like
+the slots documented above it is a predicate, but it is used for a
+different purpose.  The value has to be an integer between 1
+and 7. ~level~ controls whether it should be available depending on
+whether the user wants that or not.  See [[*Enabling and Disabling
+Suffixes]].
+
+* Related Abstractions and Packages
+** Comparison With Prefix Keys and Prefix Arguments
+
+While transient commands were inspired by regular prefix keys and
+prefix arguments, they are also quite different and much more complex.
+
+The following diagrams illustrate some of the differences.
+
+- ~(c)~ represents a return to the command loop.
+- ~(+)~ represents the user's choice to press one key or another.
+- ~{WORD}~ are possible behaviors.
+- ~{NUMBER}~ is a footnote.

+- ~{1}~ Transients can be configured to be exited when a suffix command
+  is invoked.  The default is to do so for all suffixes expect for
+  those that are common to all transients and which are used to
+  perform tasks such as providing help and saving the value of the
+  infix arguments for future invocations.  The behavior can also be
+  specified for individual suffix commands individually and may even
+  depend on state.
+
+- ~{2}~ Transients can be configured to allow the user to invoke
+  non-suffix commands.  The default is to not allow that and instead
+  warn the user.
+
+Despite already being rather complex, even the last diagram leaves out
+many details.  Most importantly it implies that the decision whether
+to remain transient is made later than it actually is made (for the
+most part a function on ~pre-command-hook~ is responsible).  But such
+implementation details are of little relevance to users and are
+covered elsewhere.
+
+** Comparison With Other Packages
+*** Magit-Popup
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+Transient is the successor to Magit-Popup (see [[info:magit-popup]]).
+
+One major difference between these two implementations of the same
+ideas is that while Transient uses transient keymaps and embraces the
+command-loop, Magit-Popup implemented an inferior mechanism that does
+not use transient keymaps and that instead of using the command-loop
+implements a naive alternative based on ~read-char~.
+
+Magit-Popup does not use classes and generic functions and defining a
+new command type is near impossible as it involves adding hard-coded
+special-cases to many functions.  Because of that only a single new
+type was added, which was not already part of Magit-Popup's initial
+release.
+
+A lot of things are hard-coded in Magit-Popup.  One random example is
+that the key bindings for switches must begin with "-" and those for
+options must begin with "=".
+
+*** Hydra
+:PROPERTIES:
+:NONODE: t
+:END:
+
+Hydra (see https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra) is another package that
+provides features similar to those of Transient.
+
+Both packages use transient keymaps to make a set of commands
+temporarily available and the ~lv~ library to show these commands in the
+echo area.  (The author of Hydra is also the author of ~lv~, which is
+maintained in the same repository.)
+
+A Hydra "body" is equivalent to a Transient "prefix" and a Hydra
+"head" is equivalent to a Transient "suffix".  Hydra has no equivalent
+of a Transient "infix".
+
+Both hydras and transients can be used as simple command dispatchers.
+Used like this they are similar to regular prefix commands and prefix
+keys, except that the available commands are shown in the echo area.
+
+(Another package that does this is ~which-key~. It does so automatically
+for any incomplete key sequence.  The advantage of that approach is
+that no additional work is necessary; the disadvantage is that the
+available commands are not organized semantically.)
+
+Both Hydra and Transient provide features that go beyond simple
+command dispatchers:
+
+- Invoking a command from a hydra does not necessarily exit the hydra.
+  That makes it possible to invoke the same command again, but using a
+  shorter key sequence (i.e. the key that was used to enter the hydra
+  does not have to be pressed again).
+
+  Transient supports that too, but for not this feature is not a focus
+  and the interface is a bit more complicated.  A very basic example
+  using the current interface:
+
+  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+    (define-transient-command outline-navigate ()
+      :transient-suffix     'transient--do-stay
+      :transient-non-suffix 'transient--do-warn
+      [("p" "next visible heading" outline-previous-visible-heading)
+       ("n" "next visible heading" outline-next-visible-heading)])
+  #+END_SRC
+
+- Transient support infix arguments; values that are set by infix
+  commands and then consumed by the invoked suffix command(s).
+
+  To my knowledge, Hydra does not support that.
+
+Both packages make it possible to specify how exactly the available
+commands are outlined:
+
+- With Hydra this is often done using an explicit format string, which
+  gives authors a lot of flexibility and makes it possible to do fancy
+  things.
+
+  The downside of this is that it becomes harder for a user to add
+  additional commands to an existing hydra and to change key bindings.
+
+- Transient allows the author of a transient to organize the commands
+  into groups and the use of generic functions allows authors of
+  transients to control exactly how a certain command type is
+  displayed.
+
+  However while Transient support giving sections a heading it does
+  not currently support giving the displayed information more
+  structure by, for example, using box-drawing characters.
+
+  That could be implemented by defining a new group class, which lets
+  the author specify a format string.  It should be possible to
+  implement that without modifying any existing code, but it does not
+  currently exist.

+
+Taking inspiration from prefix keys and prefix arguments, Transient
+implements a similar abstraction involving a prefix command, infix
+arguments and suffix commands.  We could call this abstraction a
+"transient command", but because it always involves at least two
+commands (a prefix and a suffix) we prefer to call it just a
+"transient".
+
+@quotation
+Transient keymaps are a feature provided by Emacs.  Transients as
+implemented by this package involve the use of transient keymaps.
+
+Emacs provides a feature that it calls "prefix commands".  When we
+talk about "prefix commands" in this manual, then we mean our own kind
+of "prefix commands", unless specified otherwise.  To avoid ambiguity
+we sometimes use the terms "transient prefix command" for our kind and
+"regular prefix command" for Emacs' kind.
+
+@end quotation
+
+When the user calls a transient prefix command, then a transient
+(temporary) keymap is activated, which binds the transient's infix and
+suffix commands, and functions that control the transient state are
+added to @code{pre-command-hook} and @code{post-command-hook}.  The available 
suffix
+and infix commands and their state are shown in the echo area until
+the transient state is exited by invoking a suffix command.
+
+Calling an infix command causes its value to be changed.  How that is
+done depends on the type of the infix command.  The simplest case is
+an infix command that represents a command-line argument that does not
+take a value.  Invoking such an infix command causes the switch to be
+toggled on or off.  More complex infix commands may read a value from
+the user, using the minibuffer.
+
+Calling a suffix command usually causes the transient to be exited;
+the transient keymaps and hook functions are removed, the echo area no
+longer shows information about the (no longer bound) suffix commands,
+the values of some public global variables are set, while some
+internal global variables are unset, and finally the command is
+actually called.  Suffix commands can also be configured to not exit
+the transient.
+
+A suffix command can, but does not have to, use the infix arguments in
+much the same way it can choose to use or ignore the prefix arguments.
+For a suffix command that was invoked from a transient the variable
+@code{current-transient-suffixes} and the function @code{transient-args} serve 
about
+the same purpose as the variables @code{prefix-arg} and 
@code{current-prefix-arg} do
+for any command that was called after the prefix arguments have been
+set using a command such as @code{universal-argument}.
+
+The information shown in the echo area while a transient is active
+looks a bit like this:
+
+@example
+,-----------------------------------------
+|Arguments
+| -f Force (--force)
+| -a Annotate (--annotate)
+|
+|Create
+| t tag
+| r telease
+`-----------------------------------------
+@end example
+
+@quotation
+This is a simplified version of @code{magit-tag}.  Info manuals do not
+support images or colored text, so the above "screenshot" lacks some
+information; in practice you would be able to tell whether the
+arguments @code{--force} and @code{--annotate} are enabled or not based on 
their
+color.
+
+@end quotation
+
+Transient can be used to implement simple "command dispatchers".  The
+main benefit then is that the user can see all the available commands
+in the echo area.  That is useful by itself because it frees the user
+from having to remember all the keys that are valid after a certain
+prefix key or command.  Magit's @code{magit-dispatch} command is an example
+of using Transient to merely implement a command dispatcher.
+
+In addition to that, Transient also allows users to interactively pass
+arguments to commands.  These arguments can be much more complex than
+what is reasonable when using prefix arguments.  There is a limit to
+how many aspects of a command can be controlled using prefix
+arguments.  Furthermore what a certain prefix argument means for
+different commands can be completely different, and users have to read
+documentation to learn and then commit to memory what a certain prefix
+argument means to a certain command.
+
+Transient suffix commands on the other hand can accept dozens of
+different arguments without the user having to remember anything.
+When using Transient, then one can call a command with arguments that
+are just as complex as when calling the same function non-interactively
+using code.
+
+Invoking a transient command with arguments is similar to invoking a
+command in a shell with command-line completion and history enabled.
+One benefit of the Transient interface is that it remembers history
+not only on a global level ("this command was invoked using these
+arguments and previously it was invoked using those other arguments"),
+but also remembers the values of individual arguments independently.
+see @ref{Using History}.
+
+After a transient prefix command is invoked @code{C-h <key>} can be used to
+show the documentation for the infix or suffix command that @code{<key>} is
+bound to (see @ref{Getting Help for Suffix Commands}) and infixes and
+suffixes can be removed from the transient using @code{C-x l <key>}.  Infixes
+and suffixes that are disabled by default can be enabled the same way.
+See @ref{Enabling and Disabling Suffixes}.
+
+Transient ships with support for a few different types of specialized
+infix commands.  A command that sets a command line option for example
+has different needs than a command that merely toggles a boolean flag.
+Additionally Transient provides abstractions for defining new types,
+which the author of Transient did not anticipate (or didn't get around
+to implement yet).

+@node Invoking Transients
+@section Invoking Transients
+
+A transient prefix command is invoked like any other command by
+pressing the key that is bound to that command.  The main difference
+to other commands is that a transient prefix commands activates a
+transient keymap, which temporarily binds the transients infix and
+suffix commands.  Bindings from other keymaps may, or may not, be
+disabled while the transient state is in effect.
+
+There are two kinds of commands that are available after invoking a
+transient prefix command; infix and suffix commands.  Infix commands
+set some value (which is then shown in the echo area), without leaving
+the transient.  Suffix commands on the other hand usually quit the
+transient and they may use the values set by the infix commands,
+i.e. the infix @strong{arguments}.
+
+Instead of setting arguments to be used by a suffix command, infix
+commands may also set some value by side-effect.
+
+@node Aborting and Resuming Transients
+@section Aborting and Resuming Transients
+
+To quit the transient without invoking a suffix command press @code{C-g}.
+
+Key bindings in transient keymaps may be longer than a single event.
+After pressing a valid prefix key, all commands whose bindings do not
+begin with that prefix key are temporarily unavailable and grayed out.
+To abort the prefix key press @code{C-g} (which in this case only quits the
+prefix key, but not the complete transient).
+
+A transient prefix command can be bound as a suffix of another
+transient.  Invoking such a suffix replaces the current transient
+state with a new transient state, i.e. the available bindings change
+and the information displayed in the echo area is updated accordingly.
+Pressing @code{C-g} while a nested transient is active only quits the
+innermost transient, causing a return to the previous transient.
+
+@code{C-q} and @code{C-z} on the other hand always exits all transients.  If 
you use
+the latter, then you can later resume the stack of transients using
+@code{M-x transient-resume}.
+
+@table @asis
+@kindex C-g
+@cindex transient-quit-seq
+@item @kbd{C-g} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-quit-seq})
+@kindex C-g
+@cindex transient-quit-one
+@item @kbd{C-g} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-quit-one})
+
+This key quits the currently active incomplete key sequence, if any,
+or else the current transient.  When quitting the current transient,
+then it returns to the previous transient, if any.
+
+@kindex C-q
+@cindex transient-quit-all
+@item @kbd{C-q} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-quit-all})
+
+This command quits the currently active incomplete key sequence, if
+any, and all transients, including the active transient and all
+suspended transients, if any.
+
+@kindex C-z
+@cindex transient-suspend
+@item @kbd{C-z} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-suspend})
+
+Like @code{transient-quit-all}, this command quits an incomplete key
+sequence, if any, and all transients.  Additionally it saves the
+stack of transients so that it can easily be resumed (which is
+particularly useful if you quickly need to do "something else" and
+the stack is deeper than a single transient and/or you have already
+changed the values of some infix arguments).
+
+Note that only a single stack of transients can be saved at a time.
+If another stack is already saved, then saving a new stack discards
+the previous stack.
+
+@kindex M-x transient-resume
+@cindex transient-resume
+@item @kbd{M-x transient-resume} 
@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-resume})
+
+This command resumes the previously suspended stack of transients,
+if any.
+@end table
+
+@node Common Suffix Commands
+@section Common Suffix Commands
+
+A few shared suffix commands are available in all transients.  These
+suffix commands are not shown in the echo area by default.
+
+Most of these commands are bound to @code{C-x <key>} and after pressing 
@code{C-x} a
+section featuring all common commands is temporarily show in the echo
+area.  After invoking one of these commands that section disappears
+again.  Note however that one of these commands is described as "Show
+common permanently"; invoke that if you want the common commands to
+always be shown for all transients.
+
+@table @asis
+@kindex C-x t
+@cindex transient-toggle-common
+@item @kbd{C-x t} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-toggle-common})
+
+This command toggles whether the generic commands that are common to
+all transients are always displayed or only after typing the
+incomplete prefix key sequence @code{C-x}.  This only affects the current
+Emacs session.
+
+@end table
+
+@defopt transient-show-common-commands
+
+This option controls whether shared suffix commands are shown
+alongside the transient-specific infix and suffix commands.  By
+default the shared commands are not shown to avoid overwhelming
+the user with to many options.
+
+While a transient is active, pressing @code{C-x} always shows the common
+command.  The value of this option can be changed for the current
+Emacs session by typing @code{C-x t} while a transient is active.
+@end defopt
+
+The other common commands are describe in either the previous node or
+in one of the following nodes.
+
+@subsection Notes on Common Key Bindings
+
+You may have noticed that the bindings for some of the common commands
+do @strong{not} have the prefix @code{C-x} and that furthermore some of these 
commands
+are grayed out while others are not.  That unfortunately is a bit
+confusing if the section of common commands is not shown permanently,
+making the following explanation necessary.
+
+The purpose of usually hiding that section but showing it after the
+user pressed the respective prefix key is to conserve space and not
+overwhelm users with too much noise, while allowing the user to
+quickly list common bindings on demand.
+
+That however should not keep us from using the best possible key
+bindings.  The bindings that do use a prefix do so to avoid wasting
+too many non-prefix bindings, keeping them available for use in
+individual transients.  The bindings that do not use a prefix and that
+are @strong{not} grayed out are very important bindings that are 
@strong{always}
+available, even when invoking the "common command key prefix" or @strong{any
+other} transient-specific prefix.  The non-prefix keys that @strong{are} grayed
+out however, are not available when any incomplete prefix key sequence
+is active.  They do not use the "common command key prefix" because it
+is likely that users want to invoke them several times in a row and
+e.g. @code{M-p M-p M-p} is much more convenient than @code{C-x M-p C-x M-p C-x 
M-p}.
+
+You may also have noticed that the "Set" command is bound to @code{C-x s},
+while Magit-Popup used to bind @code{C-c C-c} instead.  I have seen several
+users praise the latter binding (sic), so I did not change it
+willy-nilly.  The reason that I changed it is that using different
+prefix keys for different common commands, would have made the
+temporary display of the common commands even more confusing,
+i.e. after pressing @code{C-c} all the @code{C-x ...} bindings would be grayed 
out.
+
+Using a single prefix for common commands key means that all other
+potential prefix keys can be used for transient-specific commands
+@strong{without} the section of common commands also popping up.  @code{C-c} in
+particular is a prefix that I want (and already do) use for Magit, and
+also using that for a common command would prevent me from doing so.
+
+@node Saving Values
+@section Saving Values
+
+After setting the infix arguments in a transient, the user can save
+those arguments for future invocations.
+
+Most transients will start out with the saved arguments when they are
+invoked.  There are a few exceptions though.  Some transients are
+designed so that the value that they use is stored externally as the
+buffer-local value of some variable.  Invoking such a transient again
+uses the buffer-local value. @footnote{@code{magit-diff} and @code{magit-log} 
are two prominent examples, and their
+handling of buffer-local values is actually a bit more complicated
+than outlined above and even customizable.  This is something I am
+rethinking, but I don't want to rush any changes.)}
+
+If the user does not save the value and just exits using a regular
+suffix command, then the value is merely saved to the transient's
+history.  That value won't be used when the transient is next invoked
+but it is easily accessible (see @ref{Using History}).
+
+@table @asis
+@kindex C-x s
+@cindex transient-set
+@item @kbd{C-x s} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-set})
+
+This command saves the value of the active transient for this Emacs
+session.
+
+@kindex C-x C-s
+@cindex transient-save
+@item @kbd{C-x C-s} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-save})
+
+Save the value of the active transient persistently across Emacs
+sessions.
+
+@end table
+
+@defopt transient-values-file
+
+This file is used to persist the values of transients between Emacs
+sessions.
+@end defopt
+
+@node Using History
+@section Using History
+
+Every time the user invokes a suffix command the transient's current
+value is saved to its history.  This values can be cycled through the
+same way one can cycle through the history of commands that read
+user-input in the minibuffer.
+
+@table @asis
+@kindex M-p
+@cindex transient-history-prev
+@item @kbd{M-p} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-history-prev})
+
+This command switches to the previous value used for the active
+transient.
+
+@kindex M-n
+@cindex transient-history-next
+@item @kbd{M-n} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-history-next})
+
+This command switches to the next value used for the active
+transient.
+@end table
+
+In addition to the transient-wide history, Transient of course
+supports per-infix history.  When an infix reads user-input using the
+minibuffer, then the user can use the regular minibuffer history
+commands to cycle through previously used values.  Usually the same
+keys as those mentioned above are bound to those commands.
+
+Authors of transients should arrange for different infix commands that
+read the same kind of value to also use the same history key (see
+@ref{Suffix Slots}).
+
+Both kinds of history are saved to a file when Emacs is exited.
+
+@defopt transient-history-file
+
+This file is used to persist the history of transients and their
+infixes between Emacs sessions.

+@end defopt
+
+@node Getting Help for Suffix Commands
+@section Getting Help for Suffix Commands
+
+Transients can have many suffixes and infixes that the user might not
+be familiar with.  To make it trivial to get help for these, Transient
+provides access to the documentation directly from the active
+transient.
+
+@table @asis
+@kindex C-h
+@cindex transient-help
+@item @kbd{C-h} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-help})
+
+This command enters help mode.  When help mode is active, then
+typing @code{<key>} shows information about the suffix command that 
@code{<key>}
+normally is bound to (instead of invoking it).  Pressing @code{C-h} a
+second time shows information about the @emph{prefix} command.
+
+After typing @code{<key>} the stack of transient states is suspended and
+information about the suffix command is shown instead.  Typing @code{q} in
+the help buffer buries that buffer and resumes the transient state.
+@end table
+
+What sort of documentation is shown depends on how the transient was
+defined.  For infix commands that represent command-line arguments
+this ideally shows the appropriate manpage.  @code{transient-help} then tries
+to jump to the correct location within that.  Info manuals are also
+supported.  The fallback is to show the commands doc-string, for
+non-infix suffixes this is usually appropriate.
+
+@node Enabling and Disabling Suffixes
+@section Enabling and Disabling Suffixes
+
+The user base of a package that uses transients can be very diverse.
+This is certainly the case for Magit; some users have been using it and
+Git for a decade, while others are just getting started now.
+
+For that reason a mechanism is that authors can use to classify a
+transient's infixes and suffixes along the essentials@dots{}everything
+spectrum.  We use the term "levels" to describe that mechanism.
+
+Each suffix command is placed on a level and each transient has a
+level (called transient-level), which controls which suffix commands
+are available.  Integers between 1 and 7 (inclusive) are valid levels.
+For suffixes, 0 is also valid; it means that the suffix is not
+displayed at any level.
+
+The levels of individual transient and/or their individual suffixes
+can be changed interactively, by invoking the transient and then
+pressing @code{C-x l} to enter the "edit" mode, see below.
+
+The default level for both transients and their suffixes is 4.  The
+@code{transient-default-level} option only controls the default for
+transients.  The default suffix level is always 4.  The authors of
+transients should place certain suffixes on a higher level, if they
+expect that it won't be of use to most users, and they should place
+very important suffixes on a lower level, so that they remain
+available even if the user lowers the transient level.
+
+(Magit currently places nearly all suffixes on level 4 and lower
+levels are not used at all yet.  So for the time being you should not
+set a lower default level and using a higher level might not give you
+as many additional suffixes as you hoped.)
+
+@defopt transient-default-level
+
+This option controls which suffix levels are made available by
+default.  It sets the transient-level for transients for which the
+user has not set that individually.
+@end defopt
+
+@defopt transient-levels-file
+
+This file is used to persist the levels of transients and their
+suffix between Emacs sessions.
+@end defopt
+
+@table @asis
+@kindex C-x l
+@cindex transient-set-level
+@item @kbd{C-x l} @tie{}@tie{}@tie{}@tie{}(@code{transient-set-level})
+
+This command enters edit mode.  When edit mode is active, then all
+infixes and suffixes that are currently usable are displayed along
+with their levels.  The colors of the levels indicate whether they
+are enabled or not.  The level of the transient is also displayed
+along with some usage information.
+
+In edit mode, pressing the key that would usually invoke a certain
+suffix does instead prompt the user for the level that that suffix
+should be placed on.
+
+Help mode is available in edit mode.
+
+To change the transient level press @code{C-x l} again.
+
+To exit edit mode press @code{C-g}.
+
+Note that edit mode does not display any suffixes that are not
+currently usable.  @code{magit-rebase} for example shows different suffixes
+depending on whether a rebase is already in progress or not.  The
+predicates also apply in edit mode.
+
+Therefore, to control which suffixes are available given a certain
+state, you have to make sure that that state is currently active.
+@end table
+
+@node Other Options
+@chapter Other Options
+
+@defopt transient-show-popup
+
+This option controls whether the current transient's infix and
+suffix commands are shown in the echo area.
+
+If @code{t} (the default), then the infix and suffix commands are shown as
+soon as the transient is invoked.  If @code{nil}, only a one line summary
+is shown until the user presses a key that forms an incomplete key
+sequence.  If a number, behave as for @code{nil} but also show the commands
+after that many seconds of inactivity.
+@end defopt
+
+@defopt transient-highlight-mismatched-keys
+
+This option controls whether key bindings of infix commands that do
+not match the respective command-line argument should be highlighted.
+For other infix commands this option has no effect.
+
+When this option is non-nil, then the key binding for infix argument
+are highlighted when only a long argument (e.g. @code{--verbose}) is
+specified but no shorthand (e.g @code{-v}).  In the rare case that a
+shorthand is specified but the key binding does not match, then it
+is highlighted differently.
+
+Highlighting mismatched key bindings is useful when learning the
+arguments of the underlying command-line tool; you wouldn't want to
+learn any short-hands that do not actually exist.
+
+The highlighting is done using one of the faces
+@code{transient-mismatched-key} and @code{transient-nonstandard-key}.
+@end defopt
+
+@defopt transient-substitute-key-function
+
+This function is used to modify key bindings.  It the value of this

+
+This function is called with one argument, the prefix object, and
+must return a key binding description, either the existing key
+description it finds in the @code{key} slot, or key description that
+replaces the prefix key.  It could be used to make other
+substitutions, but that is discouraged.
+
+For example, @code{=} is hard to reach using my custom keyboard layout,
+so I substitute @code{(} for that, which is easy to reach using a layout
+optimized for lisp.

+@end lisp
+@end defopt
+
+@defopt transient-detect-key-conflicts
+
+This option controls whether key binding conflicts should be

+results in an error, which prevents the transient from being used.
+Because of that, conflicts are ignored by default.
+
+Conflicts cannot be determined earlier, i.e. when the transient is
+being defined and when new suffixes are being added, because at that

+@node Modifying Existing Transients
+@chapter Modifying Existing Transients
+
+To an extend transients can be customized interactively, see @ref{Enabling and 
Disabling Suffixes}.  This section explains how existing transients
+can be further modified non-interactively.
+
+The following functions share a few arguments:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+PREFIX is a transient prefix command, a symbol.
+
+@item
+SUFFIX is a transient infix or suffix specification in the same form
+as expected by @code{define-transient-command}.  See @ref{Suffix 
Specifications}.
+
+@item
+LOC is a command, a key vector or a key description (a string as
+returned by @code{key-description}).
+@end itemize
+
+These functions operate on the information stored in the
+@code{transient--layout} property of the PREFIX symbol.  Suffix entries in
+that tree are not objects but have the form @code{(LEVEL CLASS PLIST)}, where
+plist should set at least @code{:key}, @code{:description} and @code{:command}.
+
+@defun transient-insert-suffix prefix loc suffix
+
+This function inserts SUFFIX into PREFIX before LOC@.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-append-suffix prefix loc suffix
+
+This function inserts SUFFIX into PREFIX after LOC@.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-replace-suffix prefix loc suffix
+
+This function replaces the suffix at LOC in PREFIX with SUFFIX@.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-remove-suffix prefix loc
+
+This function removes the suffix at LOC in PREFIX@.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-get-suffix prefix loc
+
+This function returns the suffix at LOC in PREFIX@.  The returned
+value has the form mentioned above.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-suffix-put prefix loc prop value
+
+This function edits the suffix at LOC in PREFIX, by setting the
+PROP of its plist to VALUE@.
+@end defun
+
+Most of these functions do not signal an error if they cannot perform
+the requested modification.  The functions that insert new suffixes
+show a warning if LOC cannot be found in PREFIX, without signaling an
+error.  The reason for doing it like this is that establishing a key
+binding (and that is what we essentially are trying to do here) should
+not prevent the rest of the configuration to fail also.  Among these
+functions only @code{transient-get-suffix} and @code{transient-suffix-put} may
+signal an error.

+@section Defining Transients
+
+A transient consists of a prefix command and at least one suffix
+command, though usually a transient has several infix and suffix
+commands.  The below macro defines the transient prefix command @strong{and} it
+binds the transient's infix and suffix commands.  In other works, it
+defines the complete transient, not just the transient prefix command
+that is used to invoke that transient.
+
+@defmac define-transient-command name arglist [docstring] [keyword 
value]@dots{} group@dots{} [body@dots{}]
+
+This macro defines NAME as a transient prefix command and binds the
+transient's infix and suffix commands.
+
+ARGLIST are the arguments that the prefix command takes.
+DOCSTRING is the documentation string and is optional.
+
+These arguments can optionally be followed by keyword-value pairs.
+Each key has to be a keyword symbol, either @code{:class} or a keyword
+argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
+@code{transient-prefix} class is used if the class is not specified
+explicitly.
+
+GROUPs add key bindings for infix and suffix commands and specify
+how these bindings are presented in the echo area.  At least one
+GROUP has to be specified.  See @ref{Binding Suffix and Infix Commands}.
+
+The BODY is optional.  If it is omitted, then ARGLIST is ignored and
+the function definition becomes:
+
+@lisp
+(lambda ()
+  (interactive)
+  (transient-setup 'NAME))
+@end lisp
+
+If BODY is specified, then it must begin with an @code{interactive} form
+that matches ARGLIST, and it must call @code{transient-setup}.  It may
+however call that function only when some condition is satisfied.
+
+All transients have a (possibly @code{nil}) value, which is exported when
+suffix commands are called, so that they can consume that value.
+For some transients it might be necessary to have a sort of
+secondary value, called a "scope".  Such a scope would usually be
+set in the command's @code{interactive} form and has to be passed to the
+setup function:
+
+@lisp
+(transient-setup 'NAME nil nil :scope SCOPE)
+@end lisp
+
+For example, the scope of the @code{magit-branch-configure} transient is
+the branch whose variables are being configured.
+@end defmac
+
+@node Binding Suffix and Infix Commands
+@section Binding Suffix and Infix Commands
+
+The macro @code{define-transient-command} is used to define a transient.
+This defines the actual transient prefix command (see @ref{Defining 
Transients}) and adds the transient's infix and suffix bindings, as
+described below.
+
+Users and third-party packages can add additional bindings using
+functions such as @code{transient-insert-suffix} (See @ref{Modifying Existing 
Transients}).  These functions take a "suffix specification" as one of
+their arguments, which has the same form as the specifications used in
+@code{define-transient-command}.
+
+@menu
+* Group Specifications::
+* Suffix Specifications::
+@end menu
+
+@node Group Specifications
+@subsection Group Specifications
+
+The suffix and infix commands of a transient are organized in groups.
+The grouping controls how the descriptions of the suffixes are
+outlined visually but also makes it possible to set certain properties
+for a set of suffixes.
+
+Several group classes exist, some of which organize suffixes in
+subgroups.  In most cases the class does not have to be specified
+explicitly, but see @ref{Group Classes}.
+
+Groups are specified in the call to @code{define-transient-command}, using
+vectors.  Because groups are represented using vectors, we cannot use
+square brackets to indicate an optional element and instead use curly
+brackets to do the latter.
+
+Group specifications then have this form:
+
+@lisp
+[@{LEVEL@} @{DESCRIPTION@} @{KEYWORD VALUE@}... ELEMENT...]
+@end lisp
+
+The LEVEL is optional and defaults to 4.  See @ref{Enabling and Disabling 
Suffixes}.
+
+The DESCRIPTION is optional.  If present it is used as the heading of
+the group.
+
+The KEYWORD-VALUE pairs are optional.  Each keyword has to be a
+keyword symbol, either @code{:class} or a keyword argument supported by the
+constructor of that class.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+One of these keywords, @code{:description}, is equivalent to specifying
+DESCRIPTION at the very beginning of the vector.  The recommendation
+is to use @code{:description} if some other keyword is also used, for
+consistency, or DESCRIPTION otherwise, because it looks better.
+
+
+@item
+Likewise @code{:level} is equivalent to LEVEL@.
+
+
+@item
+Other important keywords include the @code{:if...} keywords.  These
+keywords control whether the group is available in a certain
+situation.
+
+For example, one group of the @code{magit-rebase} transient uses @code{:if
+  magit-rebase-in-progress-p}, which contains the suffixes that are
+useful while rebase is already in progress; and another that uses
+@code{:if-not magit-rebase-in-progress-p}, which contains the suffixes that
+initiate a rebase.
+
+These predicates can also be used on individual suffixes and are
+only documented once, see @ref{Predicate Slots}.
+
+
+@item
+Finally the value of @code{:hide}, if non-nil, is a predicate that control
+whether the group is hidden by default.  The key bindings for
+suffixes of a hidden group should all use the same prefix key.
+Pressing that prefix key should temporarily show the group and its
+suffixes, which assumes that a predicate like this is used:
+
+@lisp
+(lambda ()
+  (eq (car transient--redisplay-key)
+      ?\C-c)) ; the prefix key shared by all bindings
+@end lisp
+@end itemize
+
+The ELEMENTs are either all subgroups (vectors), or all suffixes
+(lists) and strings.  (At least currently no group type exists that
+would allow mixing subgroups with commands at the same level, though
+in principal there is nothing that prevents that.)
+
+If the ELEMENTs are not subgroups, then they can be a mixture of lists
+that specify commands and strings.  Strings are inserted verbatim.
+The empty string can be used to insert gaps between suffixes, which is
+particularly useful if the suffixes are outlined as a table.
+
+The form of suffix specifications is documented in the next node.
+
+@node Suffix Specifications
+@subsection Suffix Specifications
+
+A transient's suffix and infix commands are bound when the transient
+prefix command is defined using @code{define-transient-command}, see
+@ref{Defining Transients}.  The commands are organized into groups, see
+@ref{Group Specifications}.  Here we describe the form used to bind an
+individual suffix command.
+
+The same form is also used when later binding additional commands
+using functions such as @code{transient-insert-suffix}, see @ref{Modifying 
Existing Transients}.
+
+Suffix specifications have this form:
+
+@lisp
+([LEVEL] [KEY] [DESCRIPTION] COMMAND|ARGUMENT [KEYWORD VALUE]...)
+@end lisp
+
+LEVEL, KEY and DESCRIPTION can also be specified using the KEYWORDs
+@code{:level}, @code{:key} and @code{:description}.  If the object that is 
associated with
+COMMAND sets these properties, then they do not have to be specified
+here.  You can however specify them here anyway, possibly overriding
+the objects value just for the binding inside this transient.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+LEVEL is the suffix level, an integer between 1 and 7.  See
+@ref{Enabling and Disabling Suffixes}.
+
+
+@item
+KEY is the key binding, either a vector or key description string.
+
+
+@item
+DESCRIPTION is the description, either a string or a function that
+return a string.  The function should to be a lambda expression to
+avoid ambiguity.  In some cases a symbol that is bound as a function
+would also work but to be safe you should use @code{:description} in that
+case.
+@end itemize
+
+The next element is either a command or an argument.  This is the only
+argument that is mandatory in all cases.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+COMMAND is a symbol that is bound as a function, which has to be a
+command.  Any command will do; it does not need to have an object
+associated with it (as would be the case if @code{define-suffix-command}
+or @code{define-infix-command} were used to define it).
+
+As mentioned above the object that is associated with a command can
+be used to set the default for certain values that otherwise have to
+be set in the suffix specification.  Therefore if there is no object,
+then you have to make sure to specify the KEY and the DESCRIPTION@.
+
+
+@item
+The mandatory argument can also be an command-line argument, a
+string.  In that case an anonymous command is defined and bound.
+
+Instead of a string, this can also be a list of two strings, in
+which case the first string is used as the short argument (which can
+also be specified using @code{:shortarg}) and the second the long argument
+(which can also be specified using @code{:argument}).
+
+Only the long argument is displayed in the echo area.  See
+@code{transient-detect-key-conflicts} for how the short argument may be
+used.
+
+Unless the class is specified explicitly, the appropriate class is
+guessed based on the long argument.  If the argument ends with "@samp{"
+  (e.g. "--format}") then @code{transient-option} is used, otherwise
+@code{transient-switch}.
+@end itemize
+
+Finally details can be specified using optional KEYWORD-VALUE pairs.
+Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either @code{:class} or a keyword
+argument supported by the constructor of that class.  See @ref{Suffix Slots}.
+
+@node Defining Suffix and Infix Commands
+@section Defining Suffix and Infix Commands
+
+@defmac define-suffix-command name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]@dots{} 
body@dots{}
+
+This macro defines NAME as a transient suffix command.
+
+ARGLIST are the arguments that the command takes.
+DOCSTRING is the documentation string and is optional.
+
+These arguments can optionally be followed by keyword-value pairs.
+Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either @code{:class} or a keyword
+argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
+@code{transient-suffix} class is used if the class is not specified
+explicitly.
+
+The BODY must begin with an @code{interactive} form that matches ARGLIST@.
+Use the function @code{transient-args} or the low-level variable
+@code{current-transient-suffixes} if the former does not give you all the
+required details.  This should, but does not necessarily have to be,
+done inside the @code{interactive} form; just like for @code{prefix-arg} and
+@code{current-prefix-arg}.
+@end defmac
+
+@defmac define-infix-command name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]@dots{}
+
+This macro defines NAME as a transient infix command.
+
+ARGLIST is always ignored (but mandatory never-the-less) and
+reserved for future use.  DOCSTRING is the documentation string and
+is optional.
+
+The keyword-value pairs are mandatory.  All transient infix commands
+are @code{equal} to each other (but not @code{eq}), so it is meaningless to 
define
+an infix command without also setting at least @code{:class} and one other
+keyword (which it is depends on the used class, usually @code{:argument} or
+@code{:variable}).
+
+Each keyword has to be a keyword symbol, either @code{:class} or a keyword
+argument supported by the constructor of that class.  The
+@code{transient-switch} class is used if the class is not specified
+explicitly.
+
+The function definitions is always:
+
+@lisp
+(lambda (obj value)
+  (interactive
+   (let ((obj (transient-suffix-object)))
+     (list obj (transient-infix-read obj))))
+  (transient-infix-set obj value)
+  (transient--show))
+@end lisp
+
+@code{transient-infix-read} and @code{transient-infix-set} are generic 
functions.
+Different infix commands behave differently because the concrete
+methods are different for different infix command classes.  In rare
+cases the above command function might not be suitable, even if you
+define your own infix command class.  In that case you have to use
+@code{transient-suffix-command} to define the infix command and use @code{t} as
+the value of the @code{:transient} keyword.
+@end defmac
+
+@defmac define-infix-argument name arglist [docstring] [keyword value]@dots{}
+
+This macro defines NAME as a transient infix command.
+
+It is an alias for @code{define-infix-command}.  Only use this alias
+to define an infix command that actually sets an infix argument.
+To define a infix command that, for example, sets a variable use
+@code{define-infix-command} instead.
+@end defmac
+
+@node Using Infix Arguments
+@section Using Infix Arguments
+
+The function and the variables described below allow suffix commands
+to access the value of the transient from which they were invoked;
+which is the value of its infix arguments.  These variables are set
+when the user invokes a suffix command that exits the transient, but
+before actually calling the command.
+
+When returning to the command-loop after calling the suffix command,
+the arguments are reset to @code{nil} (which causes the function to return
+@code{nil} too).
+
+Like for Emacs' prefix arguments it is advisable, but not mandatory,
+to access the infix arguments inside the command's @code{interactive} form.
+The preferred way of doing that is to call the @code{transient-args}
+function, which for infix arguments serves about the same purpose as
+@code{prefix-arg} serves for prefix arguments.
+
+@defun transient-args &optional prefix separate
+
+This function returns the value of the transient from which the
+current suffix was called.  If the current suffix command was not
+called from a transient, then it returns @code{nil}.
+
+If optional PREFIX is non-@code{nil}, then it should be a symbol, a
+transient prefix command.  In that case the value of the transient
+is only returned if the suffix was invoked from @strong{that} transient.
+Otherwise @code{nil} is returned.  This function is also used internally,
+in which PREFIX can also be a @code{transient-prefix} object.
+
+If optional SEPARATE is non-@code{nil}, then the arguments are separated
+into two groups.  If SEPARATE is @code{t}, they are separated into atoms
+and conses (@code{nil} isn't a valid value, so it doesn't matter that that
+is both an atom and a cons).
+
+SEPARATE can also be a predicate function, in which case the first
+element is a list of the values for which it returns non-@code{nil} and the
+second element is a list of the values for which it returns @code{nil}.
+
+For transients that are used to pass arguments to a subprocess (such
+as @code{git}), @code{stringp} is a useful value for SEPARATE, it separates
+non-positional arguments from positional arguments.  The value of
+Magit's file argument (@code{"--"}) for example looks like this: @code{("--"
+  file...)}."
+@end defun
+
+@defvar current-transient-suffixes
+
+The suffixes of the transient from which this suffix command was
+invoked.  This is a list of objects.  Usually it is sufficient to
+instead use the function @code{transient-args}, which returns a list of
+values.  In complex cases it might be necessary to use this variable
+instead, i.e. if you need access to information beside the value.
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar current-transient-prefix
+
+The transient from which this suffix command was invoked.  The
+returned value is a @code{transient-prefix} object, which holds information
+associated with the transient prefix command.
+@end defvar
+
+@defvar current-transient-command
+
+The transient from which this suffix command was invoked.  The
+returned value is a symbol, the transient prefix command.
+@end defvar
+
+@node Transient State
+@section Transient State
+
+Invoking a transient prefix command "activates" the respective
+transient, i.e. it puts a transient keymap into effect, which binds
+the transient's infix and suffix commands.
+
+The default behavior while a transient is active is as follows:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+Invoking an infix command does not affect the transient state; the
+transient remains active.
+
+
+@item
+Invoking a (non-infix) suffix command "deactivates" the transient
+state by removing the transient keymap and performing some
+additional cleanup.
+
+
+@item
+Invoking a command that is bound in a keymap other than the
+transient keymap is disallowed and trying to do so results in a
+warning.  This does not "deactivate" the transient.
+@end itemize
+
+But these are just the defaults.  Whether a certain command
+deactivates or "exits" the transient is configurable.  There is more
+than one way in which a command can be "transient" or "non-transient";
+the exact behavior is implemented by calling a so-called "pre-command"
+function.  Whether non-suffix commands are allowed to be called is
+configurable per transient.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+The transient-ness of suffix commands (including infix commands) is
+controlled by the value of their @code{transient} slot, which can be set
+either when defining the command or when adding a binding to a
+transient while defining the respective transient prefix command.
+
+Valid values are booleans and the pre-commands described below.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{t} is equivalent to @code{transient--do-stay}.
+
+@item
+@code{nil} is equivalent to @code{transient--do-exit}.
+
+@item
+If @code{transient} is unbound (and that is actually the default for
+non-infix suffixes) then the value of the prefix's
+@code{transient-suffix} slot is used instead.  The default value of that
+slot is @code{nil}, so the suffix's @code{transient} slot being unbound is
+essentially equivalent to it being @code{nil}.
+@end itemize
+
+
+@item
+A suffix command can be a prefix command itself, i.e. a
+"sub-prefix".  While a sub-prefix is active we nearly always want
+@code{C-g} to take the user back to the "super-prefix".  However in rare
+cases this may not be desirable, and that makes the following
+complication necessary:
+
+For @code{transient-suffix} objects the @code{transient} slot is unbound.  We 
can
+ignore that for the most part because, as stated above, @code{nil} and the
+slot being unbound are equivalent, and means "do exit".  That isn't
+actually true for suffixes that are sub-prefixes though.  For such
+suffixes unbound means "do exit but allow going back", which is the
+default, while @code{nil} means "do exit permanently", which requires that
+slot to be explicitly set to that value.
+
+
+@item
+The transient-ness of certain built-in suffix commands is specified
+using @code{transient-predicate-map}.  This is a special keymap, which
+binds commands to pre-commands (as opposed to keys to commands) and
+takes precedence over the @code{transient} slot.
+@end itemize
+
+The available pre-command functions are documented below.  They are
+called by @code{transient--pre-command}, a function on @code{pre-command-hook} 
and
+the value that they return determines whether the transient is exited.
+To do so the value of one of the constants @code{transient--exit} or
+@code{transient--stay} is used (that way we don't have to remember if @code{t} 
means
+"exit" or "stay").
+
+Additionally these functions may change the value of @code{this-command}
+(which explains why they have to be called using @code{pre-command-hook}),
+call @code{transient-export}, @code{transient--stack-zap} or 
@code{transient--stack-push};
+and set the values of @code{transient--exitp}, @code{transient--helpp} or
+@code{transient--editp}.
+
+@subsection Pre-commands for Infixes
+
+The default for infixes is @code{transient--do-stay}.  This is also the only
+function that makes sense for infixes.
+
+@defun transient--do-stay
+
+Call the command without exporting variables and stay transient.
+@end defun
+
+@subsection Pre-commands for Suffixes

+Call the transient prefix command, replacing the active transient.
+
+This is used for suffix that are prefixes themselves, i.e. for
+sub-prefixes.
+@end defun
+
+@subsection Pre-commands for Non-Suffixes
+
+The default for non-suffixes, i.e commands that are bound in other
+keymaps beside the transient keymap, is @code{transient--do-warn}.  Silently
+ignoring the user-error is also an option, though probably not a good
+one.
+
+If you want to let the user invoke non-suffix commands, then use
+@code{transient--do-stay} as the value of the prefix's 
@code{transient-non-suffix}
+slot.
+
+@defun transient--do-warn
+
+Call @code{transient-undefined} and stay transient.

+@node Classes and Methods
+@chapter Classes and Methods
+
+Transient uses classes and generic functions to make it possible to
+define new types of suffix commands that are similar to existing
+types, but behave differently in some aspects.  It does the same for
+groups and prefix commands, though at least for prefix commands that
+@strong{currently} appears to be less important.
+
+Every prefix, infix and suffix command is associated with an object,
+which holds information that controls certain aspects of its behavior.
+This happens in two ways.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+Associating a command with a certain class gives the command a type.
+This makes it possible to use generic functions to do certain things
+that have to be done differently depending on what type of command
+it acts on.
+
+That in turn makes it possible for third-parties to add new types
+without having to convince the maintainer of Transient that that new
+type is important enough to justify adding a special case to a dozen
+or so functions.
+
+
+@item
+Associating a command with an object makes it possible to easily
+store information that is specific to that particular command.
+
+Two commands may have the same type, but obviously their key
+bindings and descriptions still have to be different, for example.
+
+The values of some slots are functions.  The @code{reader} slot for example
+holds a function that is used to read a new value for an infix
+command.  The values of such slots are regular functions.
+
+Generic functions are used when a function should do something
+different based on the type of the command, i.e. when all commands
+of a certain type should behave the same way but different from the
+behavior for other types.  Object slots that hold a regular function
+as value are used when the task that they perform is likely to
+differ even between different commands of the same type.

+The abstract @code{transient-child} class is the base class of both

+This class exists because the elements (aka "children") of certain
+groups can be other groups instead of suffix and infix commands.

+The abstract @code{transient-group} class is the superclass of all other
+group classes.
+

+The @code{transient-column} class is the simplest group.

+This is the default "flat" group.  If the class is not specified

+@defun transient--insert-group group
+
+This generic function formats the group and its elements and inserts
+the result into the current buffer, which is a temporary buffer.
+The contents of that buffer are later inserted into the echo area.
+
+Functions that are called by this function may need to operate in
+the buffer from which the transient was called.  To do so they can
+temporally make the @code{transient--source-buffer} the current buffer.

+Currently the @code{transient-prefix} class is being used for all prefix
+command and there is only a single generic functions that can be
+specialized based on the class of a prefix command.
+
+@defun transient--history-init obj
+
+This generic function is called while setting up the transient and
+is responsible for initializing the @code{history} slot.  This is the
+transient-wide history; many individual infixes also have a history
+of their own.
+
+The default (and currently only) method extracts the value from the
+global variable @code{transient-history}.
+@end defun
+
+A transient prefix command's object is stored in the @code{transient--prefix}
+property of the command symbol.  While a transient is active, a clone
+of that object is stored in the variable @code{transient--prefix}.  A clone
+is used because some changes that are made to the active transient's
+object should not affect later invocations.

+All suffix and infix classes derive from @code{transient-suffix}, which in
+turn derives from @code{transient-child}, from which @code{transient-group} 
also
+derives (see @ref{Group Classes}).
+
+
+@item
+All infix classes derived from the abstract @code{transient-infix} class,
+which in turn derives from the @code{transient-suffix} class.
+
+Infixes are a special type of suffixes.  The primary difference is
+that infixes always use the @code{transient--do-stay} pre-command, while
+non-infix suffixes use a variety of pre-commands (see @ref{Transient State}).  
Doing that is most easily achieved by using this class,
+though theoretically it would be possible to define an infix class
+that does not do so.  If you do that then you get to implement many
+methods.
+
+Also infixes and non-infix suffixes are usually defined using
+different macros (see @ref{Defining Suffix and Infix Commands}).
+
+
+@item
+Classes used for infix commands that represent arguments should
+derived from the abstract @code{transient-argument} class.
+
+
+@item
+The @code{transient-switch} class (or a derived class) is used for infix
+arguments that represent command-line switches (arguments that do
+not take a value).
+
+
+@item
+The @code{transient-option} class (or a derived class) is used for infix
+arguments that represent command-line options (arguments that do
+not take a value).
+
+
+@item
+The @code{transient-switches} class can be used for a set of mutually
+exclusive command-line switches.
+
+
+@item
+The @code{transient-files} class can be used for a "--" argument that
+indicates that all remaining arguments are files.
+
+
+@item
+Classes used for infix commands that represent variables should
+derived from the abstract @code{transient-variables} class.
+@end itemize
+
+Magit defines additional classes, which can serve as examples for the
+fancy things you can do without modifying Transient.  Some of these
+classes will likely get generalized and added to Transient, for now
+they are very much subject to change and not documented.

+
+@node Suffix Value Methods
+@subsection Suffix Value Methods
+
+@defun transient-init-value obj
+
+This generic function sets the initial value of the object OBJ@.
+
+This function is called for all suffix commands, but unless a
+concrete method is implemented this falls through to the default
+implementation, which is a noop.  In other words this usually
+only does something for infix commands, but note that this is
+not implemented for the abstract class @code{transient-infix}, so if
+your class derives from that directly, then you must implement
+a method.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-infix-read obj
+
+This generic function determines the new value of the infix object
+OBJ@.
+
+This function merely determines the value; @code{transient-infix-set} is
+used to actually store the new value in the object.
+
+For most infix classes this is done by reading a value from the
+user using the reader specified by the @code{reader} slot (using the
+@code{transient-infix-value} method described below).
+
+For some infix classes the value is changed without reading
+anything in the minibuffer, i.e. the mere act of invoking the
+infix command determines what the new value should be, based
+on the previous value.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-prompt obj
+
+This generic function returns the prompt to be used to read infix
+object OBJ's value.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-infix-set obj value
+
+This generic function sets the value of infix object OBJ to value.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-infix-value obj
+
+This generic function returns the value of the suffix object OBJ@.
+
+This function is called by @code{transient-args} (which see), meaning this
+function is how the value of a transient is determined so that the
+invoked suffix command can use it.
+
+Currently most values are strings, but that is not set in stone.
+@code{nil} is not a value, it means "no value".
+
+Usually only infixes have a value, but see the method for
+@code{transient-suffix}.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-init-scope obj
+
+This generic function sets the scope of the suffix object OBJ@.
+
+The scope is actually a property of the transient prefix, not of
+individual suffixes.  However it is possible to invoke a suffix
+command directly instead of from a transient.  In that case, if
+the suffix expects a scope, then it has to determine that itself
+and store it in its @code{scope} slot.
+
+This function is called for all suffix commands, but unless a
+concrete method is implemented this falls through to the default
+implementation, which is a noop.
+@end defun
+
+@node Suffix Format Methods
+@subsection Suffix Format Methods
+
+@defun transient-format obj
+
+This generic function formats and returns OBJ for display.
+
+When this function is called, then the current buffer is some
+temporary buffer.  If you need the buffer from which the prefix
+command was invoked to be current, then do so by temporarily
+making @code{transient--source-buffer} current.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-format-key obj
+
+This generic function formats OBJ's @code{key} for display and returns the
+result.

+
+This generic function formats OBJ's @code{description} for display and

+@defun transient-format-value obj
+
+This generic function formats OBJ's value for display and returns
+the result.
+@end defun
+
+@defun transient-show-help obj
+
+Show help for the prefix, infix or suffix command represented by
+OBJ@.
+
+For prefixes show the info manual, if that is specified using the
+@code{info-manual} slot.  Otherwise show the manpage if that is specified
+using the @code{man-page} slot.  Otherwise show the command's doc-string.
+
+For suffixes show the command's doc-string.

+For infixes show the manpage if that is specified.  Otherwise show

+
+Also see @ref{Suffix Classes}.
+
+@subsection Slots of @code{transient-suffix}
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{key} The key, a key vector or a key description string.
+
+
+@item
+@code{command} The command, a symbol.
+
+
+@item
+@code{transient} Whether to stay transient.  See @ref{Transient State}.
+
+
+@item
+@code{format} The format used to display the suffix in the echo area.  Must
+contain the following %-placeholders:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{%k} For the key.
+
+@item
+@code{%d} For the description.
+
+@item
+@code{%v} For the value.  Non-infix suffixes don't have a value.
+@end itemize
+
+
+@item
+@code{description} The description, either a string or a function that is
+called with no argument and returns a string.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsection Slots of @code{transient-infix}
+
+Some of these slots are only meaningful for some of the subclasses.
+They are defined here anyway to allow sharing certain methods.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{argument} The long argument, e.g. @code{--verbose}.
+
+
+@item
+@code{shortarg} The short argument, e.g. @code{-v}.
+
+
+@item
+@code{multi-value} For options, whether the option can have multiple
+values.  If non-nil, then default to use @code{completing-read-multiple}.
+
+
+@item
+@code{allow-empty} For options, whether the empty string is a valid value.
+
+
+@item
+@code{history-key} The key used to store the history.  This defaults to the
+command name.  This is useful when multiple infixes should share the
+same history because their values are of the same kind.
+
+
+@item
+@code{reader} The function used to read the value of an infix.  Not used
+for switches.  The function takes three arguments, PROMPT,
+INITIAL-INPUT and HISTORY, and must return a string.
+
+
+@item
+@code{prompt} The prompt used when reading the value, either a string or a
+function that takes the object as the only argument and which
+returns a prompt string.
+
+
+@item
+@code{choices} A list of valid values.  How exactly that is used depends on
+the class of the object.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsection Slots of @code{transient-variable}
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{variable} The variable.
+@end itemize
+
+@subsection Slots of @code{transient-switches}
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{argument-format} The display format.  Must contain @code{%s}, one of the
+@code{choices} is substituted for that.  E.g. @code{--%s-order}.
+
+
+@item
+@code{argument-regexp} The regexp used to match any one of the switches.
+E.g. @code{\\(--\\(topo\\|author-date\\|date\\)-order\\)}.
+@end itemize
+
+@node Predicate Slots
+@section Predicate Slots
+
+Suffix and group objects share some predicate slots that control
+whether a group or suffix should be available depending on some state.
+Only one of these slots can be used at the same time.  It is undefined
+what happens if you use more than one.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{if} Enable if predicate returns non-nil.
+
+@item
+@code{if-not} Enable if predicate returns nil.
+
+@item
+@code{if-non-nil} Enable if variable's value is non-nil.
+
+@item
+@code{if-nil} Enable if variable's value is nil.
+
+@item
+@code{if-mode} Enable if major-mode matches value.
+
+@item
+@code{if-not-mode} Enable if major-mode does not match value.
+
+@item
+@code{if-derived} Enable if major-mode derives from value.
+
+@item
+@code{if-not-derived} Enable if major-mode does not derive from value.
+@end itemize
+
+One more slot is shared between group and suffix classes, @code{level}.  Like
+the slots documented above it is a predicate, but it is used for a
+different purpose.  The value has to be an integer between 1
+and 7. @code{level} controls whether it should be available depending on
+whether the user wants that or not.  See @ref{Enabling and Disabling Suffixes}.

+@end example
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{@{1@}} Transients can be configured to be exited when a suffix command
+is invoked.  The default is to do so for all suffixes expect for
+those that are common to all transients and which are used to
+perform tasks such as providing help and saving the value of the
+infix arguments for future invocations.  The behavior can also be
+specified for individual suffix commands individually and may even
+depend on state.
+
+
+@item
+@code{@{2@}} Transients can be configured to allow the user to invoke
+non-suffix commands.  The default is to not allow that and instead
+warn the user.
+@end itemize
+
+Despite already being rather complex, even the last diagram leaves out
+many details.  Most importantly it implies that the decision whether
+to remain transient is made later than it actually is made (for the
+most part a function on @code{pre-command-hook} is responsible).  But such
+implementation details are of little relevance to users and are
+covered elsewhere.
+
+@node Comparison With Other Packages
+@section Comparison With Other Packages
+
+@subsection Magit-Popup
+
+Transient is the successor to Magit-Popup (see @ref{Top,,,magit-popup,}).
+
+One major difference between these two implementations of the same
+ideas is that while Transient uses transient keymaps and embraces the
+command-loop, Magit-Popup implemented an inferior mechanism that does
+not use transient keymaps and that instead of using the command-loop
+implements a naive alternative based on @code{read-char}.
+
+Magit-Popup does not use classes and generic functions and defining a
+new command type is near impossible as it involves adding hard-coded
+special-cases to many functions.  Because of that only a single new
+type was added, which was not already part of Magit-Popup's initial
+release.
+
+A lot of things are hard-coded in Magit-Popup.  One random example is
+that the key bindings for switches must begin with "-" and those for
+options must begin with "=".
+
+@subsection Hydra
+
+Hydra (see @uref{https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra}) is another package that
+provides features similar to those of Transient.
+
+Both packages use transient keymaps to make a set of commands
+temporarily available and the @code{lv} library to show these commands in the
+echo area.  (The author of Hydra is also the author of @code{lv}, which is
+maintained in the same repository.)
+
+A Hydra "body" is equivalent to a Transient "prefix" and a Hydra
+"head" is equivalent to a Transient "suffix".  Hydra has no equivalent
+of a Transient "infix".
+
+Both hydras and transients can be used as simple command dispatchers.
+Used like this they are similar to regular prefix commands and prefix
+keys, except that the available commands are shown in the echo area.
+
+(Another package that does this is @code{which-key}. It does so automatically
+for any incomplete key sequence.  The advantage of that approach is
+that no additional work is necessary; the disadvantage is that the
+available commands are not organized semantically.)
+
+Both Hydra and Transient provide features that go beyond simple
+command dispatchers:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+Invoking a command from a hydra does not necessarily exit the hydra.
+That makes it possible to invoke the same command again, but using a
+shorter key sequence (i.e. the key that was used to enter the hydra
+does not have to be pressed again).
+
+Transient supports that too, but for not this feature is not a focus
+and the interface is a bit more complicated.  A very basic example
+using the current interface:
+
+@lisp
+(define-transient-command outline-navigate ()
+  :transient-suffix     'transient--do-stay
+  :transient-non-suffix 'transient--do-warn
+  [("p" "next visible heading" outline-previous-visible-heading)
+   ("n" "next visible heading" outline-next-visible-heading)])
+@end lisp
+
+
+@item
+Transient support infix arguments; values that are set by infix
+commands and then consumed by the invoked suffix command(s).
+
+To my knowledge, Hydra does not support that.
+@end itemize
+
+Both packages make it possible to specify how exactly the available
+commands are outlined:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+With Hydra this is often done using an explicit format string, which
+gives authors a lot of flexibility and makes it possible to do fancy
+things.
+
+The downside of this is that it becomes harder for a user to add
+additional commands to an existing hydra and to change key bindings.
+
+
+@item
+Transient allows the author of a transient to organize the commands
+into groups and the use of generic functions allows authors of
+transients to control exactly how a certain command type is
+displayed.
+
+However while Transient support giving sections a heading it does
+not currently support giving the displayed information more
+structure by, for example, using box-drawing characters.
+
+That could be implemented by defining a new group class, which lets
+the author specify a format string.  It should be possible to
+implement that without modifying any existing code, but it does not
+currently exist.

+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Taking inspiration from prefix keys and prefix arguments, Transient
+;; implements a similar abstraction involving a prefix command, infix
+;; arguments and suffix commands.  We could call this abstraction a
+;; "transient command", but because it always involves at least two
+;; commands (a prefix and a suffix) we prefer to call it just a
+;; "transient".
+
+;; When the user calls a transient prefix command, then a transient
+;; (temporary) keymap is activated, which binds the transient's infix
+;; and suffix commands, and functions that control the transient state
+;; are added to `pre-command-hook' and `post-command-hook'.  The
+;; available suffix and infix commands and their state are shown in
+;; the echo area until the transient is exited by invoking a suffix
+;; command.
+
+;; Calling an infix command causes its value to be changed, possibly
+;; by reading a new value in the minibuffer.
+
+;; Calling a suffix command usually causes the transient to be exited
+;; but suffix commands can also be configured to not exit the
+;; transient state.

+Each suffix commands is associated with an object, which holds

+
+This function is intended to be called in the interactive form of
+infix commands, whose command definition usually (at least when
+defined using `define-infix-command') is this:

+if the command was not defined using one of the macros intended

+Given a suffix specified by ARG, this function returns the

+
+Unlike that function it is only intended for internal use though,
+and it is more complicated to describe because of some internal
+tricks it has to account for.  You do not actually have to know
+any of this.
+
+ARG can be a `transient-suffix' object, a symbol representing a
+command, or a command (which can be either a fbound symbol or a
+lambda expression).
+
+If it is an object, then the value of its `command' slot is used
+as follows.  If ARG satisfies `commandp', then that is returned.
+Otherwise it is assumed to be a symbol that merely represents the
+command.  In that case the lambda expression that is stored in
+the symbols `transient--infix-command' property is returned.
+
+Therefore, if ARG is an object, then this function always returns
+something that is callable as a command.
+
+ARG can also be something that is callable as a function.  If it
+is a symbol, then that is returned.  Otherwise it is a lambda
+expression and a symbol that merely representing that command is
+returned.
+
+Therefore, if ARG is something that is callable as a command,
+then this function always returns a symbol that is, or merely
+represents that command.
+
+The reason that there are \"symbols that merely represent a
+command\" is that by avoiding to binding a symbol as a command we
+can prevent it from being offered as a completion candidates for
+`execute-extended-command'.  That is useful for infix arguments,
+which usually do not work corretly unless called from a
+transient.  Unfortunately this only works for infix arguments
+that are defined inline in the defintion of of a transient prefix
+command; explicitly defined infix arguments continue to polute
+the command namespace.  It would be better if all this were made
+unnecessary by a `execute-extended-command-ignore' symbol property
+but unfortunately that does not exist (yet?)."
