OK, so we click that link to find = out what this error type means... Node `Classifying Lists' we see some odd introductory text telling us to ex= pect that "below" (in this node, presumably, as that is all we see at this = point) we will find descriptions of the three kinds of forms (function call= , macro call, special form). But there are no such descriptions. Huh? And just where do we find a description of a `wrong-number-of-arguments' error? This doc bug is _very_ old, dating back to at least Emacs 20.
