 something like a function, is called a @dfn{defun}.  The name comes
 from Lisp, but in Emacs we use it for all languages.
 
-  In many programming language modes, Emacs assumes that a defun is
-any pair of parentheses (or braces, if the language uses braces this
-way) that starts at the left margin.  For example, in C, the body of a
-function definition is a defun, usually recognized as an open-brace
-that begins at the left margin@footnote{Alternatively, you can set up
-C Mode to recognize a defun at an opening brace at the outermost
-level.  @xref{Movement Commands,,, ccmode, the CC Mode Manual}.}.  A
-variable's initializer can also count as a defun, if the open-brace
-that begins the initializer is at the left margin.
-
-  However, some language modes provide their own code for recognizing
-defuns in a way that suits the language syntax and conventions better.
