  ;; This command is similar to `beginning-of-defun', but with historical
  ;; differences.
  ;; - It does not move point to the previous entry if point is already
  ;;   at the beginning of an entry
  ;; - It does not take an optional ARG that moves backward to the beginning
  ;;   of a defun ARG times.
  ;; - It returns point and the code relies on this.
