;;; Commentary:
;; At some point in your life you may find yourself thinking, what would the
;; text that I am writing now look like in rot13? Of course, you could just
;; convert it, but really is to see the visualisation as you type. That
;; would be useful!
;; Now you can.
;; Or more seriously, this is meant as a minimal example of how do implement a
;; new lentic-buffer-configuration.
;;; Code:
;; #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; #+end_src
;; Lentic uses EIEIO objects to define the transformation between lentic buffers.
;; In this case, we extend the default configuration class. We need to add
;; nothing to the base class or constructor; all changes happen with the generic
;; methods.
;; #+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; #+end_src
;; The clone method defines how to keep the buffers in sync. We defer most of the
;; work to the superclass method, and then simply rot13 the region that has
;; changed.
;; The semantics of the parameters are a little complex. The =start= and =stop=
;; parameters define the region in =this= buffer that has been changed, while
;; =start-converted= and =stop-converted= define the equivalent region *before*
;; the change in =that= buffer.
;; In this example, we are making implicit use of the fact that we can convert
;; directly between a location in the two buffers. In future versions of
;; =lentic-clone= will probably return the changed region directly.
;; #+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; #+end_src
;; Lentic buffers have a bi-directional link between them. So, while /this/
;; buffer may create /that/ buffer, after the initial creation, the two are
;; equivalent lenticular views of each other. In terms of lentic, therefore, at
;; creation time, we need to be able to /invert/ the configuration of /this/
;; buffer to create a configuration for /that/ buffer which defines the
;; transformation from /that/ to /this/.
;; In this case, the rot13 transformation is symmetrical, so the conversion from
;; /that/ to /this/ uses an object of the same class as from /this/ to /that/.
;; #+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; #+end_src
;; And, finally, we need to create a function which will construct a new object.
;; This has to be no-args because it is added as a symbol to `lentic-config'. It
;; is this function which creates the configuration for initial buffer.
;; #+begin_src emacs-lisp
