 @defmac define-alternatives command &rest customizations
-Define the new command `COMMAND'.
-
-The argument `COMMAND' should be a symbol.
-
-When a user runs @kbd{M-x COMMAND @key{RET}} for the first time, Emacs
-will prompt for which alternative to use and record the selected
-command as a custom variable.
-
-Running @kbd{C-u M-x COMMAND @key{RET}} prompts again for an
-alternative and overwrites the previous choice.
-
-The variable @code{COMMAND-alternatives} contains an alist
-(@pxref{Association Lists}) with alternative implementations of
-`COMMAND'.  @code{define-alternatives} does not have any effect until
-this variable is set.
-
-If @var{customizations} is address@hidden, it should be composed of
-alternating @code{defcustom} keywords and values to add to the
-declaration of @code{COMMAND-alternatives} (typically :group and
-:version).

+When a user runs @kbd{M-x @var{command} @key{RET}} for the first time,
+Emacs prompts for which real form of the command to use, and records
+the selection by way of a custom variable.  Using a prefix argument
+repeats this process of choosing an alternative.
