JFTR: (info "(elisp) Documentation Tips")

   • Avoid using “iff” (a mathematics term meaning “if and only if”),
     since many people are unfamiliar with it and mistake it for a typo.
     In most cases, the meaning is clear with just “if”.  Otherwise, try
     to find an alternate phrasing that conveys the meaning.
