Do you know whether the lines

@c %**start of header

and

@c %**end of header

are still useful for anyone? The manual says

The @code{@@c ...header} lines above which surround the
@code{@@setfilename} and @code{@@settitle} lines allow you to process,
within Emacs, just part of the Texinfo source.  (@xref{Start of
Header}.)

but I've never really understood what this means.
