* doc/misc/efaq.texi (Displaying the current file name in the
titlebar): Add example code to show the real file name in the

Thanks, but I don't want to recommend that users include :eval forms
in frame-title-format, as that could cause complications, and
generally slows down redisplay.

Is there some other way to achieve the above customization?

If not, perhaps this bug should simply be closed.  :-/

To clarify: the above customization _is_ supported, and will continue
to be supported.  I just don't think we should advertise it in the
manual.
