Neither OPERATION nor HANDLER is specified well.
1. These parts of the doc string are incomprehensible:
OPERATION is one of the following operation symbols `find-node'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that define what HANDLER function to call instead of calling the
default corresponding function to override it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can't even parse the first bit. Is it trying to say that OPERATION
must be `find-node'? (No idea.)
The second bit: what is the "default corresponding function"? What
does that mean? Default wrt what? Corresponding to what?
2. HANDLER is not specified at all. No doubt it is a function. But
what arguments can or must the function accept?

Looks like Eli fixed this at the time but forgot to close this report.
