USAGE= liste des arguments de la fonction.
DOC=   Docstring de la fonction.
DEF= dans la liste des arguments (USAGE), on va avoir:
"(DEF arg1 arg2 ...)"
Si DEF est nil on aura:
"(nil arg1 arg2...)"
Autrement:
"(DEF_name arg1 arg2...)"

Exemples:
[...]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
