Please don't. The Elisp manual is already very large, we don't want to
document everything in it.

There should be some guidelines about what needs documenting and what
doesn't. Personally, I feel that hash and string related functions are
worth documenting, as many people are likely learning Elisp by reading the
Elisp manual.

subr-x functions are functions which haven't yet proved useful enough to
deserve to be in subr.el, so for the same reason I don't think they
belong in the Lispref either.

They weren't marked "---" in NEWS and the hash-table functions were already
documented. Right now `subr-x' is too small to deserve a separate manual.
Maybe not every function should be documented but there should be at least a
hint in the manual to make it more discoverable.
Shall I revert the patch?

Rüdiger
