Of course, yes.  Feel free to delete it.  Otherwise I'll do it when I'm
back home this evening.

And thank you both for fixing my typo in text.texi.  However, now we use
"@deffn Command" for replace-region-contents but it is no command.
Maybe it should be one with interactive spec "a"?  But how likely is it
that the replacement function is already an available named function?
