## Return the first sentence of a function's help text.
##
## The first sentence is defined as the text after the function
## declaration until either the first period (".") or the first appearance of
## two consecutive newlines ("\n\n").  The text is truncated to a maximum
## length of @var{max_len}, which defaults to 80.
##
## The optional output argument @var{status} returns the status reported by
## @code{makeinfo}.  If only one output argument is requested, and @var{status}
## is non-zero, a warning is displayed.
##
## As an example, the first sentence of this help text is
##
## @example
## @group
## get_first_help_sentence ("get_first_help_sentence")
## @print{} ans = Return the first sentence of a function's help text.
