Yes, I realized that.  And that was perhaps based on
Stefan's saying he doesn't think it's a very important
use case.

I pointed out that it is just as important as using
the other option.

No, of course not.  You always say that, as if
someone claimed the contrary.  No one has _ever_
done so, as far I know.

That's reading a lot into my reply.  I was setting
the record straight wrt what these variables are
for, and pointing out that neither is more important
than the other.  You can document them both in the
manual or remove them both from the manual, as far
as I'm concerned.  You can document only one of them,
but there is not special reason (IMHO) to choose this
one or that one.
