Something about elp I need help with.

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hi, Emacs.

Whilst trying to track down what is dragging in a fontification event, I
get the following output from elp-results (blank lines added for
clarity):

Function Name                         Call Count Elapsed Time Average Time

All these functions down to c-font-lock-declarations are low level
functions, called only from other CC Mode ones.  Yet there don't seem to
be any HL functions calling the LL ones at the top, such as
c-beginning-of-decl-1.

How can this be?  What have I misunderstood about elp?

Thanks for the help!
