BTW `search-forward' has a formally incorrect
docstring in

  GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of
  2019-09-23, modified by Debian

that way "bounds" won't get font locked with
`help-argument-name' (it should be BOUNDs, or
reformulated: "An optional second argument bounds the
search" - ... and optimally the word appears as the
argument is and nothing else, right? but regardless
of whatever, please just upcase it so one can see it
instantly, and I'm happy :))
