This is largely a matter of which way produces the most clear and readable manual. One has to try various methods and see which one can be made to work best. This depends on how RMS and others feel about my proposal for making next-error a next-DWIM interface; As I explained, I think that is probably a bad idea. In any case, we don't want to do it for the coming release. So the coming release needs a manual updated for the current state of the functionality.
