Documentation

Each element has the form (PACKAGE SYMBOL REGEXP STRING). PACKAGE is either a regular expression to match file names, or a symbol (a feature name), like for with-eval-after-load. SYMBOL is either the name of a string variable, or t. Upon loading PACKAGE, if SYMBOL is t or matches REGEXP, display a warning using STRING as the message.
