Isn't the paragraph starting with "If this is t, ..." enough?

For me "cycling" and "wrapping" stand for the same effect.  The major
difference is that when the above option is made non-nil, the set of
candidate buffers changes.  OTOH, when it's nil, Emacs wraps/cycles
while when it's 'stop' it doesn't.  That's confusing.
