AFAICT it would be more accurate (and relevant) to mention these commands in the docstring of completing-read, not read-from-minibuffer. But they are also pretty well documented in both the Emacs manual and the ELisp manual, so I'm not sure I see the importance of mentioning them there as well... Best, Eshel
