The manual=E2=80=99s job is to make everything clear to people who are not Emacs experts=E2=80=94including you. It is just as impor= tant to report documentation bugs as program bugs. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Bug-Criteria.htm= l) I agree that it is not extremely important, but an unclear manual is still a bug, right?
