Instead of insisting that the superiority is obvious, why don't you
tell what you, from your programming perspective, expect to find when
you ask the help system about a function? Then, if that information
is missing from the glibc manual, perhaps some day it will be added.
If you keep insisting that it's obvious, one thing is certain: the
manual will never be changed to your liking. Maybe that is your
goal...
