Hi there,
Thank you for responding.
It would be nice if the default process sentinel were explicitly documented - at least the name and formal description.

The default sentinel is documented with the set-process-sentinel
function:
-- Function: set-process-sentinel process sentinel
This function associates SENTINEL with PROCESS. If SENTINEL is
`nil', then the process will have the default sentinel, which
inserts a message in the process's buffer when the process status
changes.
Maybe this is not prominent enough, and we should say this in a few
more places. Other than that, what else do you think should be said
about the default sentinel?
Thanks.
