+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This is a set of convenience functions that used to be provided in
+;; the Denote manual. A "silo" is a `denote-directory' that is
+;; self-contained. Users can maintain multiple silos. Consult the
+;; manual for the details. With the Denote package installed,
+;; evaluate the following to read the relevant node:
+;;
+;; (info "(denote) Maintain separate directory silos for notes")
