That's the point.  Just as much as any <specific test case> for
`comint-dynamic-complete' bug report.

That is, requesting these details from *users* reporting bugs is ok,
but for *maintainers* to document the same user visible details is
unreasonable?

The description with exactly that much detail has to exist, so that
maintainers can quickly get to it and not ask users to educate them on
package they are supposed to maintain.  Perhaps the description is
indeed too detailed for regular user.  Then it just should be placed
not in user manual, but elsewhere in emacs distribution, with
reference to it from manual.
