+ ** New command `display-local-help' displays any local help at point
+ in the echo area.  It is bound to `C-h .'.  It normally displays the
+ same string that would be displayed on mouse-over using the
+ `help-echo' property, but, in certain cases, it can display a more
+ keyboard oriented alternative.
+ 
+ ** New user option `help-at-pt-display-when-idle' allows to
+ automatically show the help provided by `display-local-help' on
+ point-over, after suitable idle time.  The amount of idle time is
+ determined by the user option `help-at-pt-timer-delay' and defaults
+ to one second.  This feature is turned off by default.
+ 
+ ** New commands `scan-buf-next-region' and `scan-buf-previous-region'
+ move to the start of the next (previous, respectively) region with
+ non-nil help-echo property and display any help found there in the
+ echo area, using `display-local-help'.
