> Its value is shown below.

> Documentation:
> An alist associating X Windows selection-types with functions.
> These functions are called to convert the selection, with three
> args:
> the name of the selection (typically `PRIMARY', `SECONDARY', or
> `CLIPBOARD');
> a desired type to which the selection should be converted;
> and the local selection value (whatever was given to `x-own-
> selection').
> 
> The function should return the value to send to the X server
> (typically a string).  A return value of nil
> means that the conversion could not be done.
> A return value which is the symbol `NULL'
> means that a side-effect was executed,
> and there is no meaningful selection value.
