In revision 1.39 to lispref/windows.texi you changed the description
of `pos-visible-in-window-p' to say:
It returns `nil' if POSITION is scrolled vertically or horizontally
out of view.
Whereas the old documentation said that the function can return t if
POSITION is only out of view because of horizontal scrolling.
Checking it out empirically, it would appear that the _old_
documentation is correct.
The docstring says:
Return nil if that position is scrolled vertically out of view.
I believe that this particular part of revision 1.39 should be
reverted. But am I missing something?
Sincerely,
Luc.

It does look like the change in the manual was a mistake,
so I guess you should change it back. Thanks for noticing this.
It does puzzle me, though. I must have thought for some reason
that this had been changed, and since I don't see what the reason
could have been, I don't know whether it had some kind
of validity at some point.
