   in synchronization during the various backtracks of the system. *)

(** For tables registered during the launch of coqtop, the [init_function]
    will be run only once, during an [init_summaries] done at the end of
    coqtop initialization. For tables registered later (for instance
    during a plugin dynlink), [init_function] is used when unfreezing
    an earlier frozen state that doesn't contain any value for this table.

    Beware: for tables registered dynamically after the initialization
    of Coq, their init functions may not be run immediately. It is hence
    the responsability of plugins to initialize themselves properly.

val declare_summary : string -> 'a summary_declaration -> unit

(** All-in-one reference declaration + summary registration.
    It behaves just as OCaml's standard [ref] function, except
    that a [declare_summary] is done, with [name] as string.
    The [init_function] restores the reference to its initial value.
    The [freeze_function] can be overridden *)

(** For global tables registered statically before the end of coqtop
    launch, the following empty [init_function] could be used. *)
