+SYNOPSIS
+	void epilog(void)		/* compat in 3.2 */
+	string *epilog(int eflag)	/* !compat or 3.2.1 */
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	Perform final actions before opening the system to users.
+	The semantics of this function differ for compat and !compat
+	mode, and between 3.2 and 3.2.1.
+
+	Compat in 3.2: the objects from the INIT_FILE (#defined to
+	"room/init_file" at compile time in the parser) are already
+	loaded at this time. Normally there is nothing left to do for
+	this function.
+
+	!Compat and 3.2.1: the argument is the number of -e options that were
+	given to the parser on the commandline. Normally it is just 0
+	or 1. The function should return an array of strings, which
+	traditionally denote the objects to be preloaded with
+	master->preload(). Any other return value is interpreted as
+	``no object to preload''. The resulting strings will be passed
+	one at a time as arguments to preload().
