The text in "Fixing Case", all of it, is this:
‘M-- M-l’
Convert last word to lower case. Note ‘Meta--’ is Meta-minus.
‘M-- M-u’
Convert last word to all upper case.
‘M-- M-c’
Convert last word to lower case with capital initial.
A very common error is to type words in the wrong case. Because of
this, the word case-conversion commands ‘M-l’, ‘M-u’, and ‘M-c’ have a
special feature when used with a negative argument: they do not move the
cursor. As soon as you see you have mistyped the last word, you can
simply case-convert it and go on typing. *Note Case::.
What does this say that "Case", and in particular the paragraph you
quote above, does not? I'd rather add whatever is missing to "Case"
than send the reader to another place in the manual.

A GitHub PR is not automatically accepted, either.
