 # @USAGE: <list of elisp files>
 # @DESCRIPTION:
 # Byte-compile Emacs Lisp files.
+#
+# This function uses GNU Emacs to byte-compile all ".el" specified by its
+# arguments. The resulting byte-code (".elc") files are placed in the same
+# directory as their corresponding source file.
+#
+# The current directory is added to the load-path. This will ensure that
