As I said: not really documented. I was working on a way to disable the
processing of '%' lines when I first came across it.

Only for hacks. The class section is The Right Place for it. But I have
some code that I haven't yet figured out how to factor out so for the
moment I am doing the old cut-and-paste. For that it is convenient to have
everything in one section and not having to paste some into class and other
into the main component sections.

(But then I am also modifying $$_m_buffer directly from the component so
what do you expect…? :) )
