+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This package provides a tree-sitter based implementation of "breadcrumbs",
+;; that is indicators displaying where in the semantic structure of a document
+;; the point is currently located.
+;;
+;; Imagine a large YAML-document where the names of the parent keys are far out
+;; of view: Treecrumbs can quickly display the hierarchy of keys (e.g. `foo < []
+;; < baz') and help figure out where point is.
+;;
+;; Treecrumbs only works if a tree-sitter parser for the target language is
+;; available in the buffer, and the language is supported in the
+;; `treecrumbs-languages'. Adding a new language is not difficult, and patches
+;; for this are welcome.
+;;
+;; To active treecrumbs, enable `treecrumbs-mode'. This buffer-local minor mode
+;; adds the crumbs to the buffer's `header-line-format'. Alternatively, users
+;; can also use the `treecrumbs-line-segment' either in their own header-line,
+;; tab-line or mode-line configuration.

+Treecrumbs will only consider node types that are mentioned in
