Should they all get same blurb like "This might run timers that trigger redisplay, so you should make sure that etc." or should they just get a short notice like "This function runs timers (see 'some-doc-string or info page').". > plus any function that calls one of them (e.g. sit-for). Those are at least a few hundred, so we cannot possibly alter all the doc-strings for those. -David
