Several times I see ^L in (mostly Emacs Lisp) source codes that looks like are separators of larger logical groups. Is it their real purpose? And if so, how can I use them? Is there a built-in Emacs functionality that utilize it?

    This is a page break.

    […]

    A page break can also be used for a logical separation of source-code
    sections. Emacs has commands and key bindings that use page breaks, such
    as ‘forward-page’ (C-x ] or C-]), ‘backward-page’
    (C-x [ or C-[), and ‘narrow-to-page’ (C-x n p). Other functions, such as
    ‘mark-page’, operate on the content of a page. See also PageMode.
