+   In a package that can be preloaded, it is sometimes useful to
+ specify a computation to be done when Emacs subsequently starts up.
+ For this, use @code{eval-at-startup}:
+ 
+ @defmacro eval-at-startup address@hidden
+ This evaluates the @var{body} forms, either immediately if running in
+ an Emacs that has already started up, or later when Emacs does start
+ up.  Since the value of the @var{body} forms is not necessarily
+ available when the @code{eval-at-startup} form is run, that form
+ always returns @code{nil}.
+ @end defmacro
