I disagree. Users are supposed to read _both_ doc strings and the
manual. Therefore, something mentioned in the doc string does not
necessarily has to be described in the manual as well, especially if
it's an obscure feature used in special situations.
The manual is for describing things better, in more easily readable
form, without restrictions of doc string format. But it doesn't have
to tell everything.
