I see in the manual text that is not a verbatim copy of the doc string, but
an expanded version of it with more detailed explanations. Which is how it
should be: it is IMNSHO bad documentation-fu to have the manual just copycat
the doc strings. (We sometimes do it for lack of time, but it is not a Good
Thing.)
The note about case-sensitivity of the fallback was missing from the manual,
so I added it.

There should be no verbatim copies of doc strings in the manual. So I'm not
interested in making that bad practice easier ;-)
Thanks.
