-For some procedures, notably type predicates, we use ``iff'' to mean
-``if and only if''.  The construct is usually something like: `Return
address@hidden iff @var{condition}', where @var{val} is usually
address@hidden'' or address@hidden''.  This typically means that
address@hidden is returned if @var{condition} holds, and that @samp{#f} is
-returned otherwise.  To clarify: @var{val} will @strong{only} be
-returned when @var{condition} is true.
