Yes you did but I though that this part of what you are replying to
addressed that:

I am also listing a few more things explicitly in my response to Stefan,
i.e.:

We all have seen plenty of libraries and know the messy bits that tend
to accumulate at the beginning of their code portion.  That's the stuff
that I would leave inside the "Code:" section.  The bits that come
before the first `defgroup' (if any).
